This is the third All-Pac-12 First Team selection for Northey in the all-around, as she was honored her sophomore and junior seasons as well.

Northey has won 14 individual event titles this season and has 32 top-3 finishes.
Goings, a sophomore, will take home her first conference honors as an All-Pac-12 First Team all-arounder. She has three all-around titles in her first season competing in the all-around. She also has two event titles and seven top-3 individual event finishes this season. She is ranked No. 47 nationally and No. 5 in the Pac-12 in the all-around.

Duranczyk will earn her first All-Pac-12 honors as well, as the Pac-12 bars champion earned All-Pac-12 Second Team honors on bars. She won seven bars titles this season, including the Pac-12 title and the preceding four straight meets. She has a total of nine top-3 finishes on the event as the lineup anchor for the majority of the season.
