WELCOMING BACK 50 YEARS OF AGGIES: In 1976 UC Davis gymnastics took the floor for the first time and for the past 50 years the Aggies have been competing at a national level, so when it was time to bring everyone together at the 2026 home opener, over 200 former Aggies returned to Davis to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of UC Davis gymnastics. On Jan. 18, the Aggies welcomed San Jose State to the University Credit Union center and around that meet the celebration took place.
 
Hosted and organized by former coach Ray Goldbar and his wife Molly, the Aggies were able to make it a special day by collecting memorabilia and reconnecting with many former Ags who had not been back to Davis since graduating. 
 
220 former Aggies and their families made it a special day that started with a meet and greet at the Bruce Edwards Club Room at UC Davis Health Stadium, before moving to the arena for the dual meet and a post-meet reception. Before the meet, the large group of returning Aggies were honored on the floor and a video of photos from the past 50 years ran for all to enjoy.
 
UNDER WAY IN THE DESERT: Alana Kim's career-high 9.825 on vault set the pace for UC Davis gymnastics in its season opening tri-meet at Arizona State that saw the Aggies finish third with a final score of 193.250 on Jan. 11. Kim finished tied for fourth on vault and just finished outside the top 10 on floor after tying for 11th with a mark of 9.700
 
Amelia Moneymaker finished tied for second on the all-around, totaling 39.100 adding to the versatile Aggie's school record with her 17th all-around score of at least 39.000. Moneymaker's best finish came on floor when she posted a fourth-place score of 9.825
 
50th ANNIVERSARY: 2025 also doubles as Aggies' 50th Anniversary with the season acting as a celebration for the history of the program. In 1974, led by Ray Goldbar, both women's and men's UC Davis gymnastics took the floor for the first time and for the past 50 years the Aggies have been setting championship standards. During those 50 years the Aggies have won three national championships, bringing home the AIWA Division III title in 1980 and 1981 and the 1999 USAG Division II title.
