Individuals Still in the Running for Nationals Qualification

While the results from Friday’s competitions will be used to determine individual qualifiers in the all around and on the four events for nationals, we won’t know until Saturday at the conclusion of the regional final which gymnasts will advance. However, we do know those whose hopes are still alive for a trip to Fort Worth.

To refresh, to make it to nationals as an individual, a gymnast has to be the top competitor on an event or in the all around, not from a qualifying team. Simply, add Friday’s two sessions’ results together and scratch out all names of gymnasts from the two teams that advance out of Saturday’s regional final. Below, you’ll find those gymnasts still in contention from each regional.
