Utah Great Missy Marlowe Inducted into USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame

Red Rocks legend one of six HOF inductees for the class of 2025
NEW ORLEANS — Red Rocks great Missy Marlowe is now a proud member of the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame as of Saturday, Aug. 9.
Marlowe is the first individual Red Rock to receive the honor, and second overall to be inducted, joining Ashley Postall who was recognized as part of the 2003 World Championships team in the 2008 class.
"Being inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame this past Saturday was simply thrilling," said Marlowe. "I enjoy any chance I get to reconnect with my elite gymnastics roots, as well as other National and Olympic team members to revive tales of my competitive days."
Â
Marlow was joined in New Orleans for the celebration by one of her Utah coaches, Megan Marsden, as well as some Utah Gymnastics fans, showcasing why the Red Rocks continue to be one of the most prominent women's teams in all of college sports 50 years after setting the standard.
"The fact that Megan Marsden and two of our super fans traveled from Utah and California to join me in New Orleans was incredibly humbling," said Marlow. "I'm forever proud that my career not only continued after the '88 Olympics, but succeeded more than ever under Greg and Megan Marsden. We have the best fans in the country and I will always love the University of Utah."
Â
As a Red Rock, Marlowe was an All-American all four years she competed and earned seven perfect 10s through her career (1 vault, 3 bars, 2 beam, 1 floor). Five of Marlowe's 10s came in a single season, which ranks third all-time in program history. Marlowe was also the first NCAA gymnast to earn perfect 10s in all four events, known in the sport as a "gym slam".
Aside from her record for 10s in a season, Marlowe's name can be found all over Utah's history books, ranking fifth all-time for victories in a season (37), fourth in career victories (98), and third in career all-around wins (18).
Additionally, Marlowe was a critical part of two National Championship seasons for the Red Rocks in 1990 and 1991, and was a five-time individual NCAA Champion along the way. Marlowe won the Honda Sports Award as the nation's top female gymnast and was the first gymnast to ever win the Honda-Broderick Cup as the top female athlete in the country in 1992.
In 2001, Marlowe was inducted into the University of Utah's Crimson Club Hall of Fame and is a part of the Utah Sports Hall of Fame as well. In 2018, the Pac-12 inducted Marlowe into its Hall of Honor.
"I love the sport of gymnastics with all my heart," said Marlowe back in March when her impending induction was announced. "I proudly represented the U.S. in 11 countries before college, and couldn't dream of a better way to learn about the world and other cultures at a young age. The resiliency, the highs, the lows, the intense nature of gymnastics has helped me every day of my life. My improbable path to the '88 Olympics, and then my ever-present childhood dream of being a Red Rock defined me. While at times perilous, like all athletics, I am forever grateful for my mom and family's support, as well as the incredible people in Salt Lake City who have championed me since this journey began at the age of 11. GO USA and GO UTES!"
Â
Both Marlowe and Marsden will be part of an on-going celebration looking back at 50 years of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards during the 2026 gymnastics season. More details to come.
