AS A JUNIOR (2009)
Michelle Stout became a two-year All-American in 2009. Stout earned four All-America honors, first-team on the vault, bars and the all-around, and second-team on the floor.

She set the school record with a 9.975 vault to win the NCAA Championship Session II title and she tied Magee for the school record with a 39.525 in the all-around, also at the NCAA Championship Session II to finish fourth.

Stout advanced to the NCAA Championship event finals in the vault, finishing fifth (9.8375), and on the bars, tying for seventh (9.8625).

Stout was also a second-team All-Southeastern Conference performer on the vault.

She recorded career highs in every event last year, including the 9.975 on the vault, the 39.525 in the all-around, a 9.90 at the SEC Championship and in winning the bars at No. 31 Kentucky, a 9.875 to win the beam against No. 9 Alabama, and a 9.90 on the floor to win at No. 8 Oklahoma and against No. 18 Minnesota, and to finish second against No. 1 Florida.

For her career, she has 23 event titles, including two in the all-around, 13 in the vault, four on the bars, one on the beam and three on the floor.

She won the vault eight times (No. 21 Ohio State, at No. 9 Oregon with No. 45 Cal, No. 1 Florida, at No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 3 Georgia, No. 18 Minnesota, NCAA South Central Regional, NCAA Championship Session II); bars three times (at No. 31 Kentucky, No. 18 Minnesota, at Texas Women’s University with Bowling Green and Penn); beam once (No. 9 Alabama); floor three times (at No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 3 Georgia, No. 18 Minnesota); and the all-around once (No. 18 Minnesota).

She finished in the top three in the vault 12 times and never finished lower than fifth. She had a 9.875 or higher nine times.

On the bars, she had eight top three finishes with a 9.875 or higher five times.

Her score counted toward the team total all 15 times on vault, bars and floor, 13 times in the all-around and 12 times on the beam.

In the all-around, she had a 39.325 against No. 18 Minnesota for her second event win, but she finished second six times and later topped that score at the NCAA Championship Session II meet.

Named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and selected to the SEC’s 2009 Community Service Team, she shared the team’s Most Outstanding Gymnast award with Magee.

AS A SOPHOMORE (2008)
Stout became the first All-American and event finalist in Arkansas gymnastics history in 2008.  Stout vaulted her way into the record books after tying for first in the session finals at the NCAA Championship in Athens, Ga. Her vault score of 9.90 also moved her into the event finals Saturday and earned her first-team All-America honors.

Stout was a steady competitor for Arkansas all season. Stout was awarded Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Week honors for the first time in her career after her solid performance against Alabama. Stout was a perfect 14-for-14, counting all of her floor scores toward the team total. She was five-of-five on beam scores and counted 13 bars and 12 vault scores in 2008.

Stout earned selection to the SEC Academic Honor Roll and was named the Dana McQuillin Coaches Award winner in 2008.

AS A FRESHMAN (2007)
Stout’s collegiate career opened with a bang at the Super Six Challenge and her success continued for much of the season until injury limited her late in the year. Stout posted a then-school record on vault against top-ranked Florida Feb. 9, scoring a 9.95 and winning the event. 

She also recorded a 9.750 on the beam and as an all-arounder had a 39.325 against the Gators. Stout’s best bar performance was a 9.80 set multiple times and her best floor score was a 9.85 recorded on the road at No. 15 LSU Jan. 26.

She won the all-around title in a conference win over No. 14 Alabama.

In addition to her gymnastics success, Stout was successful in the classroom, earning selection to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll as well as the NACGC/W all-scholar team.

SOUTHERN TIER GYMNASTICS
Stout’s club career is dotted with big performances. As a senior in 2006, Stout was third on vault at the New York state meet. She finished third in the all-around at the Region 6 meet with a win on the bars and a third-place showing on the vault. Stout finished eighth in the all-around competition at the Junior Olympic Nationals with a third-place showing on the vault, sixth-place finish on bars and a fourth-place finish in the floor. Stout’s junior season saw her win the U.S. Challenge all-around title taking the vault and bars individual titles. Stout won the 2005 regional all-around title, finishing first on vault and bars, second on floor and third on the beam. She was second on vault and third on the floor at the 2005 national meet. Stout won the regional vault title and was third on bars as a freshman in 2003. Stout captured the vault title at the 2004 national meet and was 10th as a regional all-arounder.
