Azusa, Calif. – The Duquesne University acrobatics & tumbling team placed 27 student-athletes on the National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association (NCATA) Academic Honor Roll.
The NCATA Academic Honor Roll recognizes all letterwinners and active roster members who achieve a cumulative grade-point average of 3.30 or higher.
Duquesne headlined its historic second season in 2026 by earning a berth to the NCATA National Championships as the No. 8 seed. The Dukes also qualified four events to the NCATA Individual Event Finals, highlighted by Lindsay Kivlan capturing the Open Tumbling national title — the first individual national title in any sport in Duquesne Athletics history.
Duquesne was the youngest program to compete in both the team and individual portions of the national championships.
