Missouri gymnastics had a fantastic outing last year, finishing third at the NCAA Championship. Things are looking bright for the program's future, as two gymnasts have committed.

The first is Kendall Morgan, who declared her decision on social media on Monday. Morgan is a member of the Class of 2026.

She was highly coveted as a five-star recruit and decided to take her talents to Missouri over programs such as Florida, UCLA, and Michigan State.

“I’m so thankful to be surrounded by such an amazing program and culture,” Morgan said on Instagram. “I can’t wait to call Mizzou my home away from home, and I’m so ready for this next chapter.”

Morgan is a two-time National High School Gymnastics Championships qualifier. She also participated in the 2025 Nastia Liukin Cup.

Other accomplishments include earning two national championship titles in 2025. They came on vault and bars.

The good news kept coming when Ruthie Wehrung announced her commitment to Missouri on Tuesday. She is a four-star athlete.

“Thank you so much to the Mizzou coaching staff and team for making me feel so welcome and at home!! I’m so excited for this next part of the journey,” Wehrung said via Instagram.

The Pennsylvania product is the first gymnast from the Class of 2027 to commit to the Tigers.

Wehrung competed with the developmental national team two times. She has won a national beam title (2024) and a national floor title (2023).
