Anastasia Webb, a senior from the University of Oklahoma, was named the Honda Sport Award winner for Gymnastics as announced today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).

The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 45 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics”.  The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2021 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a telecast on CBS Sports Network on June 28th at 9 pm ET.

Webb was chosen by a vote of administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Finalists included Luisa Blanco (Alabama), Lynnzee Brown (Denver) and Lexy Ramler (Minnesota).

“I am extremely honored and grateful to have won the Honda Sport Award for gymnastics,” said Webb. “Winning the Honda Award is a dream come true and I cannot thank enough my amazing coaching staff, my teammates, and my family for all the endless support! I am blessed to be part of the best gymnastics program in the country and very thankful for all the opportunities the University of Oklahoma has given me athletically and academically. I would also like to say congratulations to the other finalists, Luisa Blanco, Lynnzee Brown, and Lexy Ramler on having a fantastic gymnastics career, especially during the year of the pandemic. This year had been like no other and I am truly amazed at every school and every gymnast who fought till the end to compete in the sport they love. Thank you again for honoring me with this prestigious award and allowing me to join other legendary athletes.”

Hailing from Morton Grove, Ill., Webb is the 2021 NCAA All-Around, Vault and Floor Individual National Champion. She is only the ninth gymnast to earn all three individual titles in one year. She led Oklahoma to an NCAA Runner-up finish and ranked No. 1 in the nation on Vault.
