The All-America teams are determined by the national championship judges and they are graded on a scale where 16+ places someone on the First Team, 14.5-15.99 on the Second Team, and 12.0-14.49 on the Third Team. Student-Athletes are recorded doing four elements: toe tuck, trimple jump combination, round off back handspring full twisting layout, and stunts. They are graded on a scale of 1-5 ranging from poor form and technique to superior form and technique.
Xavier (La.) posted the most members on the First Team with 13 while NAIA National Champions St. Ambrose (Iowa) placed five on the First Team. Overall, the Gold have 16 across all three teams and the Bees are second with 10.
