SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Four Sacramento State gymnasts were named to the 2025 all-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation teams, it was announced today. The group is comprised of senior Emma Morgenthaler, junior Sarah Lutrel and sophomores Athena Jones and Hannah Sitzman. The all-MPSF teams are created by taking the highest ranked gymnast in each event from all four schools as well as the next four highest-ranked gymnasts. The top four gymnasts based on NQS were named to the first team while the other four were placed on the second team.
 
Morgenthaler was named first team all-MPSF as an all-arounder. The fifth-year senior competed in all 12 meets during the regular season, including the final eight as an all-arounder. Morgenthaler's NQS of 39.020 ranks 10^th in school history and places her on the bubble to qualify for an NCAA Regional. Her season was highlighted by five-consecutive meets of scoring 39-plus points, including a season-high 39.150 at Alaska Anchorage.
 
Lutrel was named first team all-MPSF on beam for the second consecutive season. In 12 meets this season, she has an average of 9.785 which ranks fourth in school history and is tied for eighth all-time at Sacramento State with an NQS of 9.830. The Citrus Heights, Calif., native set her season high with a 9.875 in the tri-meet against Cornell and Alaska Anchorage and later matched that mark against Eastern Michigan. She has scored 9.8 or better in seven of her 12 routines. Lutrel was also named second team all-MPSF on vault with an NQS of 9.795. She had five vaults of 9.8 or higher, including a season-high 9.825 against Southern Utah.
 
Sitzman earned second team all-MPSF honors on bars. Sitzman led the Hornets in the regular season with an NQS of 9.830 which is 10^th in school history. She has claimed at least a share of first place in six of the team's 12 meets, including the home finale where she had a career-high 9.900 against UC Davis. Sitzman has surged in the last half of the season where she averaged 9.792.
 
Jones garnered second team all-MPSF accolades on beam and floor. The Clovis, Calif., native ranked second on the team on beam with an NQS of 9.815.
