Alyssa Baumann

Baumann missed Florida's opening match against Missouri after she fell while training uneven bars. She was taken to a hospital for a precautionary evaluation. She returned to competition the following week. During the Regional Finals, the Florida Gators lost, being upset by the Denver Pioneers and the Oregon State Beavers. They did not qualify as a team to compete at the 2019 NCAA Championships. Baumann, however, qualified as an individual on the balance beam.

Baumann started competing for the University of Florida's gymnastics team in the 2018 season. She was the SEC Conference balance beam champion, while Florida finished third. At the NCAA Championships, Florida once again finished third, and individually Baumann won bronze on the floor exercise behind Katelyn Ohashi and Maggie Nichols.

In November 2018, Baumann reported that she was a survivor of sexual abuse by Dr. Larry Nassar. Her admission was one of hundreds by young women in the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal that was first reported in September 2016 by the Indianapolis Star. Nassar was convicted of both federal and state charges and sentenced to several life terms in prison.

Baumann's commitment to the University of Florida's gymnastics program was postponed as she announced that she would be deferring until the 2017–18 academic year in order to concentrate on rehab. Later that summer Baumann had another surgery, this time on her wrist, and spent the remainder of 2016 in rehabilitation.

Baumann went into the 2016 season as a third-year senior.
