INDIANAPOLIS — Red Rocks great Missy Marlowe has been announced as one of six class of 2025 inductees to the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
Marlowe was a 1987 World Championships team member, the 1987 USA Gymnastics Athlete of the Year, a three-time U.S. medalist earning the bars gold medal, all-around silver medal, and beam bronze medal, and a 1988 Olympian before joining Utah Gymnastics from 1989-92.
"I love the sport of gymnastics with all my heart," said Marlowe. "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!"
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) with five of her 10s coming in a single season, ranking third all-time in Utah history. Marlowe was also the first NCAA gymnast to earn perfect 10s in all four events, known in the sport as a "gym slam".
Marlowe ranks fifth all-time in school history for victories in a season (37), fourth in career victories (98), and third in career all-around wins (18).
Marlowe was part of two National Championship seasons for the Red Rocks (1990, 1991), and was a five-time individual NCAA Champion, winning 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 Utah's Crimson Club Hall of Fame and is a part of the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. In 2018, the Pac-12 inducted Marlowe into their Hall of Honors.
Marlowe and the rest of the 2025 class will be inducted Saturday, August 9, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana during a ceremony held during the 2025 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships.
