CLEMSON, S.C. – Lilly Lippeatt earned ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year honors and four members of the Gymnastics program earned Academic All-ACC recognition, the conference announced Thursday. Lippeatt (Senior, Mechanical Engineering) and Quinn Kuhl (Junior, Communication) are three-time Academic All-ACC selections, while Hannah Clark (Sophomore, Health Science) and Maggie Holman (Junior, Marketing) each earned their second career honors.
The ACC updated its requirements for recognition in 2025-26: He or she must be undergraduate student-athlete who has been enrolled at the institution at least one academic year, earned a cumulative GPA of 3.00 including a 3.00 GPA in most recent two semesters, and competed in at least 50% of the team's contests.
Graduate students are not eligible for the recognition, though the Tigers had seven individuals working toward master's degrees in 2026.
Clemson recently completed its third season of competition, winning the 2026 ACC Championship and advancing to the NCAA Regional Final (Sweet 16). Clak, Kuhl and Lippeatt were all part of a historic bars rotation (each registered a 9.900) that clinched the ACC title for the Tigers, while Holman recorded a 9.875 on vault and a 9.850 on floor.
