Carey Named Honda Award Finalist for Second-Straight Season
April 15, 2023 | Women's Gymnastics
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sophomore Jade Carey earned back-to-back nominations as a finalist for the 2023 Honda Sports Award, the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) announced on Saturday.
The Honda Sports Award is an annual honor, awarded to the best collegiate female athlete in each of the 12 NCAA-sponsored female sports. There are four nominees for each, and the 12 winners of the award are automatically in the running for the Honda-Broderick Cup to be named Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Three other athletes are honored as the Division II Athlete of the Year, Division III Athlete of the Year, and Inspiration Award winner.
Carey is joined by Kentucky's Raena Worley, Florida's Trinity Thomas and LSU's Haleigh Bryant as the four finalists for the prestigious Honda award.
The back-to-back Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year was nearly perfect, recording a 9.9625 on beam as an individual at the 2023 NCAA Championships. The second-place finish on beam at Nationals was the first runner-up mark for OSU and the highest score on the apparatus at NCAAs, surpassing Madeline Gardiner's 9.9250 at the 2015 NCAA Championship, where Gardiner placed third.
Carey finished the year with six First Team All-American honors, taking home Regular Season First Team honors on every event plus the all-around, while picking up a NCAA First Team honor on beam after her performance on Thursday evening. The Phoenix native now holds 14 All-American distinctions across her two seasons with the Beavs.
She holds the 14 highest all-around scores in program history, breaking her own record twice this year with a pair of 39.875s.
The Olympic gold medalist hit all 55 routines this season, that included an impressive 47 scores of 9.900 or higher anchoring the Beavers all season.
