PITTSBURGH – Head Coach Casey Jo MacPherson and the Pitt gymnastics team announced their 2026 season schedule on Wednesday afternoon. The Panthers will compete in six ACC meets and play host six times, including the Panther Preview.
"We are so excited for the upcoming season and the strength of our 2026 schedule," says MacPherson. "We have several competitive matchups this year with ACC, SEC, and regional opponents, as well as the hometown favorite Backyard Brawl. We can't wait for fans to see many strong returning routines as well as talented freshmen debuts as we reach for new heights of Pitt Gymnastics!"
The 2026 roster will be led by seniors Jaime Pratt, Kennedy Duke, Reyna Garvey and Hallie Copperwheat, a 2023 All-Around NCAA Regional Qualifier. MacPherson enters her third season at the helm of the Pitt gymnastics program and recently brought in six talented freshmen that look to make an impact.
Pitt fans will have the opportunity to see the Panthers in action for the first time for free at the Panther Preview on Dec. 19 at the Fitzgerald Field House.
The Panthers are on the road for the season opener on Jan. 11 at Texas Woman's University before hosting Cal (Jan. 18) to begin ACC competition. Pitt travels to North Carolina (Jan. 23) and will compete against West Virginia, Cornell and Kent State in Morgantown, West Va. on Jan. 30.
