2016 Minneapolis Regional

11:13 PM

Some facts leading into the Regional Competition: The Minneapolis Regional will be held in the Sports Pavilion and hosted by the University of Minnesota at 4.00pm local time. This is the seventh-straight year Brigham Young University has qualified to Regionals whilst the University of Florida will be hoping to win their 16th NCAA Regional title. Ohio State University will be making their 38th NCAA Regional appearance with Denver University making a Regionals appearance for the 18th consecutive year. The University of Missouri will be making their second straight NCAA Regionals appearance and the 26th overall bid in the program's history. Iowa State's Haylee Young is making her second appearance at Regionals in the All Around whilst the U.S. Air Force Academy duo of Kara Witgen and Jamie Lewis are making their second consecutive Regional appearances. University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Junior Mackenzie Smith becomes the first gymnast in the program's history to qualify as an Event Specialist - she has had a fantastic season since transferring from Michigan State University.

The University of Florida and the University of Minnesota advance to Nationals after placing first and second respectively. This is the first time since 2013 that Minnesota has advanced to the NCAA National Championships. Florida Sophomore Alex McMurtry and Freshman Alicia Boren tied with Iowa State University Freshman Meaghan Sievers for the Vault honors. McMurtry and Minnesota Senior Lindsay Mable tied for the Uneven Bars honors whilst on the Balance Beam Florida Senior Bridget Sloan triumphed and also earned herself the All Around title. Denver University fifth-year Senior Nina McGee was the top scorer on the Floor Exercise. McGee and the University of Missouri Freshman Morgan Porter advance to Nationals to compete in the All Around, whilst Sievers advances as a Vault specialist. Sievers becomes the third Iowa State Freshman to qualify as an Individual (Sissy Huey in 1999 and Erin Dethloff in 2003 were the other ones).
