Stoughton’s Frederick Richard a finalist for AAU James E. Sullivan Award
Team USA gymnast Frederick Richard, a Stoughton native, has been named a finalist for the 94th AAU James E. Sullivan Award.
The AAU James E. Sullivan Award has been presented annually since 1930 to the most outstanding athlete at the collegiate, Olympic, or other similar elite level in the United States. In addition to athletic excellence, the award recognizes the qualities of leadership, citizenship, character, and sportsmanship on and off the playing surface.
Richard is a breakout gymnast with the University of Michigan and Team USA. Richard’s year included winning three NCAA titles, one U.S. title, and claiming two bronze medals at the FIG World Gymnastics Championships.
He became the youngest-ever U.S. men’s medalist at the World Championships and the first American man since 2010 to win an all-around medal. When not in the gym, he also created his own “Frederick Flips” brand, producing apparel that complements his social media following of nearly one million.
