The body of work for two of Air Force's top gymnasts in 2025 was validated by the Mountain West office on Friday afternoon, as sophomore Maggie Slife was named Mountain West Gymnast of the Year and Floor Specialist of the Year, and freshman Alyssa Bigler earned a share of the conference Freshman of the Year honor.
Air Force's top all-arounders, Slife and Bigler, closed the season as the top-ranked gymnast and highest-ranked freshman in the league, respectively.
Slife, earning 15 total weekly conference honors in 2025, Slife stands as the most consistent top scorer across the conference on a week-by-week basis. The sophomore was a nine-time Mountain West Gymnast of the Week in 2025, proving the top all-arounder in the conference nine weeks out of 10. Slife closed nine of 10 meets in 2025 as the all-around champ and scored 9.900 or better four times, posting season highs of 9.900 (vault), 9.925 (bars), 9.875 (beam) and 9.925 (floor). Additionally, Slife earned the top floor honor of the season, finishing with the best floor NQS in the Mountain West (9.880) while also earning three weekly Mountain West floor honors along the way.
Ranked 72nd nationally, Bigler stands as the No. 3-ranked gymnast and top-ranked freshman in the Mountain West. In her inaugural season at Air Force, Bigler was a two-time MW Vault Specialist of the Week, scoring a 9.825 in her career debut (Jan. 10) and a 9.925 on Jan 24, earning the season high score on vault across the Mountain West this season. Bigler's 38.600 earns her the second-best all-around NQS in the Mountain West this year behind teammate Slife.
