Crowley was coached by longtime head coach Jackie Fain, who retired after the 2022 campaign after 11 successful seasons at the helm.

Eight Ladies qualified for the 2023 USA Gymnastics Women's Collegiate National Championships, marking the most Centenary gymnasts to qualify for the prestigious event since 2017. Four Ladies received All-American honors following the event as sophomore Carissa Martinez (Albuquerque, N.M.) and senior Taylor Ann Wilson (Memphis, Tenn.) each received First-Team All-American honors following their impressive performances in the event finals.

Johnson's score also tied Jordan's for the highest in the division III era (2013-present).
