DENVER – University of Denver gymnast Rylie Mundell has been named to the 2024-25 CSC Academic All-America Women's At-Large Team, College Sports Communicators announced on Tuesday.
 
Mundell captured second-team honors, marking the second time in the last three years that she was named to the CSC Academic All-America Women's At-Large Team.
 
The CSC Academic All-America Teams honor the top student-athletes in the nation based on their combined athletic and academic performances. The Academic At-Large teams are open to student-athletes from fencing, golf, gymnastics, hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. Nominees must hold at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA and have met participation requirements as determined by each sport.
 
Mundell completed her bachelor's degree in physics in June 2024 before pursuing a graduate program in global information system for the 2024-25 academic year. She held a 4.00 GPA in her post-graduate work after finishing her bachelor's degree with a 3.97 GPA.
 
In 2025, she ended her stellar collegiate career as an individual bars qualifier to the NCAA National Championships and tied for No. 24 overall on the event. She won a total of eight titles during the 2025 season including four on bars, moving her to No. 4 in Denver history for most career wins on the event (19).
 
Mundell finished her career among some of the best in Denver Gymnastics history, ranking in the top five for most career scores of at least 9.900 with 60, 30 of which came on bars. In total, she won 42 career titles across all four events and in the all-around, now the 11^th most in program history. She achieved career highs of at least 9.900 on all four events including near-perfect 9.975s on bars and beam.
 
Four times in her career, she picked up Academic All-Big 12 Conference Team honors, doing so in every season that she was eligible. She also owns four WCGA Scholastic All-America awards and is expected to add a fifth for 2024-25 when the honors are announced later this summer.
 
This is the second career CSC Academic All-America honor of Mundell's career after earning third-team recognition in 2022-23. She becomes the eighth University of Denver student-athlete and the first gymnast to earn multiple CSC Academic All-America Division I nods. Denver now boasts four Academic All-America honors from gymnasts: two from Mundell and one apiece from Karen Beer (first team, 1982-83) and Emily Bankhead (third team, 2003-04).
 
In total, 46 Division I student-athletes earned spots on the 2024-25 CSC Academic All-America Women's At-Large Teams. Mundell is one of two Denver student-athletes to be named to the teams, joining two-time NCAA skiing champion Sara Rask, who collected first-team honors. Gymnastics is the most-recognized sport on this year's DI at-large teams with Mundell as one of eight honorees.
 
Mundell and Rask become the fourth and fifth DU student-athletes to earn CSC Academic All-America status in 2024-25 after men's soccer players Ronan Wynne and Sam Bassett – second and third team, respectively – and men's swimmer Brandon Chapman (third team).
 
So far, Denver has now had at least one CSC Academic All-American in each of the last five years and in 11 of the last 12. Over the last two academic years, Denver has boasted 11 honors.
 
The men's at-large team will be announced on Wednesday, July 9.
