The 2015 Southeastern Conference and NCAA Auburn Regional Cham-pion Alabama gymnastics team will compete in the evening session of the NCAA Championships Semifinals Friday, April 17 in the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena starting at 7 p.m. CT. Alabama, which won its ninth SEC title last month, advanced to its 33rd consecutive NCAA Championships on Saturday by winning its NCAA-best 30th regional championship in Auburn, Ala. The Crimson Tide will face defending NCAA co-Champion Oklahoma along with LSU, Auburn, Oregon State and Nebraska in the semifinal round of the NCAA Championships. Defending NCAA co-Champion Florida and past champions Georgia, UCLA and Utah along with Stanford and Michigan compete in the first semifinal session on Friday starting at 1 p.m. Alabama will start the semifinal session on the floor exercise and will then move to the vault before taking its first of two byes. After the bye, the Tide will move to the uneven bars and balance beam before sitting a bye during the last of six rotations. This year marks the seventh in a row that Alabama has competed in semifinal session II. From its semifinal session, Alabama has already faced Oklahoma, LSU and Auburn this season. The Tide has also competed against Florida and Georgia from the afternoon semifinal session. Alabama is a combined 9-2-0 against this year’s championship field this season.

The No. 19-ranked University of Arkansas women’s gymnastics team overcame a slow start at the NCAA Morgantown Regional, but it wouldn’t be enough to advance them to the NCAA Championship Ses-sion, as they scored a 196.500 to finish fourth. The Razorbacks started out with a 48.850 on the floor exercise, but recovered from that to post the program’s best score on the vault at the NCAA Regional with a 49.375. Arkansas ended the day with a season-best on the balance beam with a 49.150, to post a 196.500. Today’s total was the fifth-high-est score for Arkansas at the NCAA Regional meet. Sophomore All-Amer-ican Amanda Wellick led Arkansas’ vault rotation, as she got a perfect 10 from one judge on her attempt to score a 9.925. Wellick finished in a tie for fifth at the meet, and extended her streak of 9.9-or-better on the vault to eight-straight meets. Her 9.925 is the third-highest score by an Arkansas gymnast on the vault in NCAA Regional history. The 9.925 was one of two 9.9’s during the vault rotation for Arkansas, as junior All-SEC gymnast Heather Elswick scored a 9.9 from the third spot. Elswick’s total on the vault is the only eighth 9.9 scored by an Arkansas gymnast at the NCAA Regional and ties her for the fourth-best score on the vault in program history at Regionals. The Razorbacks also got a trio of 9.8-plus scores from sophomore Samantha Nelson (9.825) and freshmen Leah MacMoyle (9.850) and Paige Zaziski (9.875). Arkansas collected a season-best 49.150 on the balance beam to end the afternoon. The Ra-zorbacks concluded the rotation with four-straight 9.8-or-better scores, led by junior Sydnie Dillard’s 9.875. Dillard’s score allowed her to finish in a tie for sixth at the NCAA Regional. Senior Cailee Ellsworth ended her Arkansas career on a high-note, by posting a career-best 9.850 from the anchor slot. Zaziski matched Ellsworth score and Nelson scored a 9.800 to round out the quartet of 9.8-plus scores.

No. 8 Auburn gymnastics will compete in the second semifinal of the 2015 NCAA Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, April 17-19. The Tigers will be joined by No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 4 LSU, No. 5 Alabama, No. 9 Ne-braska and No. 12 Oregon State. Auburn’s rotation begins on bars and beam before its first bye. The Tigers will then go floor, vault and finish the meet on a bye. Auburn will be ranked No. 8 at the NCAA Champion-ships, its 10th straight week in the top 10, a program record. The Tigers have only been ranked in the top 10 for 16 total weeks in the last 20 years. No. 8 Auburn gymnastics recorded its highest score ever at an NCAA Regional at Auburn Arena with a team total of 196.900, finishing second overall to advance to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2003. The Tigers saved their strongest performance of the meet for the final rotation as Auburn finished with its third-best score of the year on vault at 49.400 to lock up its spot at the national meet. Lexus Demers and MJ Rott collected pair of 9.900s, finishing tied for third overall in the event. Caitlin Atkinson and Megan Walker led the Tigers with a pair of 9.900s in the first rotation on bars to begin the night for Auburn. Bri Guy, Kelsey Kopec, Abby Millett and Kait Kluz all scored 9.8 or better on bars to help the Tigers post a team total of 49.225 in the event. On beam, Auburn scored 49.100 led by Walker’s 9.900. The score by the senior was the second-best score of the night in the event and a team-high for the Tigers. Atkinson, who placed fourth overall in the all-around competition with a 39.425, turned in a strong performance on floor by posting a 9.875 as the Tigers collected a team total of 49.175. The junior’s score ranked as the fourth-best score in the session.

The Gators will make their 33rd NCAA Championships appearance, earning a berth after winning the NCAA Morgantown Regional. Florida won the meet a 197.475 and Stanford took the second qualifying spot at 197.00. A Gator claimed at least a share of four event titles in Mor-gantown. Junior All-American Bridget Sloan returned with a roar to all-around competition, posting the nation’s second-highest total of 2015 (39.80) in her first all-around performance of the season. She sprained her right ankle in the Jan. 11 season opener and has been adding events to her competitive repertoire since she returned to UF’s lineup in mid February. Floor exercise was the final event to be added and she shared the event title with senior teammate Kytra Hunter at 9.95. Sloan’s nearly perfect vault mark of 9.975 was the high score of the meet on any event. She also shared the uneven bars title at 9.95. Hunter is the first Gator to sweep a regional event title four consecutive seasons.

Freshman Sydney Waltz became the first UK gymnast to qualify for the NCAA National Championships in the all-around since 2002 as the Kentucky gymnastics team recorded the third-highest regional score in team history on Saturday at the NCAA Regional Championships. UK re-corded a 195.450 to finish sixth overall. It marked the third consecutive season the Wildcats notched a 195.000 or higher after they had eclipsed 195.000 just twice in program history before 2012, when UK head coach Tim Garrison arrived in Lexington. Waltz finished fifth in the all-around with a 39.125 and earned a spot at the NCAA Championships when she placed second among gymnasts who were not a member of the region-al’s top two teams. The Findlay, Ohio, native becomes the 11th Wildcat to qualify for the national championships and the first all-arounder since Aronda Primault in 2002. Waltz will compete at the three-day NCAA Championships April 17-19 in Fort Worth, Texas. Waltz led UK on two events in addition to the all-around. In her first career NCAA Regional appearance, Waltz opened with a UK-best 9.800 on vault. The freshman closed with a team-high-tying 9.850 on floor. Waltz also scored a 9.750 on uneven bars and a 9.725 on balance beam. Her 39.125 came in just her fourth all-around appearance of her career. It was a pair of seniors, in their final meet as Wildcats, that led UK on uneven bars and balance beam. In her final event of her career, Kayla Hartley led UK on bars with a season-high 9.850, tied for the fourth-highest score at the NCAA Regionals. Fellow senior Shannon Mitchell’s 9.850 was a team best on beam. On floor, Waltz shared team-high honors with sophomore Taylor Puryear. Kentucky made its school record 11th consecutive NCAA Regional appearance and opened on vault with a 48.550. After a bye, the Wildcats followed with a 49.050 on uneven bars, the second highest total on the event this season. UK recorded a 48.850 before closing on floor with a 49.000. UK closed the season as a team after it earned its 27th NCAA Regional berth in program history.

The Georgia gymnastics team will compete in the first semifinal of the NCAA Championships April 17 at 2 p.m. ET at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The 10th-seeded Gymdogs will compete against No. 2 Florida, No. 3 Utah, No. 6 Michigan, No. 7 UCLA and No. 11 Stanford. Georgia’s rotation for the first session will be vault, bye, bars, beam, bye, floor. UGA had the same rotation in the semifinal a year ago when it came in second to qualify for the Super Six. The Gym-dogs (13-10) won the program’s 24th NCAA regional title at Cal Berkeley last Saturday night with a 197.025. Ten-time national champion Georgia is making its 31st appearance in the NCAA Championships. Georgia opened with a bye then started competition on bars in the second ro-tation. The Gymdogs turned in a meet-high 49.325 behind a pair of 9.9s by Chelsea Davis and Brittany Rogers to end the rotation. The Gymdogs then went to beam and registered a 48.95. Ashlyn Broussard led the team with a 9.875, while Vivi Babalis and Mary Beth Box had a pair of 9.825s. Georgia led at the halfway point with a 98.275, ahead of Cal’s 98.15. Utah was in third with a 97.7. After a bye in the fourth rotation, Georgia scored a 49.35 on floor led by a career-high 9.9 by Vivi Babalis. UGA had a 147.625 going to the last rotation, the best three-even score of any team. Georgia used a 49.4 on vault in the final rotation to seal the victory. Davis and Rogers added two more 9.9s, while Brandie Jay and Ashlyn Broussard scored 9.875s.
