AS A SOPHOMORE (2012)
Katherine Grable made a huge impact on the national scene. She earned a No. 1 national ranking in the all-around, led Arkansas to its first No. 1 national ranking, earned two All-America honors, a spot in the NCAA event finals, won 15 event titles and was twice named SEC Gymnast of the Week.

An ankle injury sidelined Katherine Grable for the stretch run of the regular season, but she returned for the postseason with an All-American performance. Grable finished sixth in the nation on beam, and led Arkansas into the NCAA Championship for the fifth straight year and on to the Super Six for the second time in four years.

Her 9.925 beam, 9.875 floor, 9.90 vault and 39.275 all-around led Arkansas to the championship of the Cancun Classic in the season-opener over No. 12 LSU, No. 17 Auburn, No. 19 Arizona and No. 25 Iowa, earning her first SEC weekly honor.

Grable set career highs of 9.95 on vault and 9.90 bars in the home win over No. 25 LSU, 9.95 on beam in the NCAA Championship Session II semifinal to send the Razorbacks to the Super Six, 9.95 on floor three times and 39.725 in the AA against LSU to earn her second SEC weekly award.

Her all-around and beam highs are school records, and the AA mark was the best in the nation for 2012, matched only by teammate Jaime Pisani.

Grable won all-around titles in Cancun, against LSU, Oklahoma and at Alabama. She injured an ankle on her 9.925 vault landing against Nebraska on Feb. 24, and competed on bars and beam, but not floor. Grable climbed to No. 1 in the nation in the all-around the following week and stayed there for two weeks. She competed on bars and beam the following meet against Minnesota, but missed all of the next three meets, including the SEC Championship.

Grable returned for the NCAA Fayetteville Regional and was second on beam (9.90) and third on bars (9.85), helping Arkansas finish second to advance to the NCAA Championship. In the Session II semifinal, she tied Pisani for the beam title (9.95), and had a 9.90 vault and 9.875 bars to send Arkansas into the Super Six with the second-best score in school history (197.15).

In the Super Six, she was sixth in the AA (39.525), fifth on beam (9.90), 10th on floor (9.875) and 11th on vault (9.90).

In the NCAA event finals, she placed sixth on beam with a 9.8625. Grable was a first-team All-American on beam with her 9.95 in the Session II semifinal and a second-team All-American on vault with the 9.90.

In addition to the AA titles, she won vault against LSU, Florida, Auburn and Georgia; bars against Kentucky; beam in Cancun and against Kentucky, LSU and in the NCAA Championship Session II semifinal; and floor against LSU and Oklahoma. She has 24 event wins for her career.

Grable became the sixth Razorback to win an NCAA Championship session title, joining Michelle Stout, Alexandra LaChance, Sarah Nagashima, Casey Jo Magee and Jaime Pisani.

Grable shared the team's co-Most Outstanding Gymnast award with Pisani. In the classroom, she was named to UA's Athletic Director's List.
