NCAA NCAA Women's Regionals

[Coach Kate]

Now that we know the qualifiers and where they're going, what are you most excited about?

Huge congrats to @JBS 's daughter (Air Force) for qualifying as an individual! She even got a special shout out on the gymcastic podcast this week because of how hard it is to do at a service academy in particular.

I'm trying to figure out if I can go to any of the Washington regional competitions. The days and times aren't ideal for me, but it really is fun to go! I was there when UW qualified for nationals for the first time in a long time and it was so exciting.

I think my wild and crazy upset prediction would be Utah missing nationals for the first time ever and having Cal and Stanford qualify instead.

I hate how MSU and Kentucky are in the same regional. I really want both of them to make it to nationals.

I would love to see MSU at nationals! A program on the rise for sure!

My 10yo daughter and I are going to the finals in Fort Worth. I really wanted to get tickets for the semis on the 17th too but it's a Thursday and did not want to take her out of school for it. She is rooting for OU and hopes to see them at the finals meet.

I think I second your regionals thoughts, I think Stanford has it in them!

I’m excited about the Penn state regional and am taking my kids. It’ll be our first regional. Does anyone have any advice about how to possibly get autographs or photos with the gymnasts? Or any advice about where is best to sit, what time to get there? We are so excited!

Thanks... I'll have to listen to the podcast! My wife and I haven't gotten to go to any of her meets this year so my wife is going to go to watch her at Regionals.

Nice to have some NCAA talk hear... keep talking!

I was actually wondering if you'd been able to go...between your other kids and your coaching job, there's a lot of gymnastics happening! And I'm from Wisconsin and had only ever been to D3 meets (mostly Whitewater home meets) until I moved to Washington state after college.

Wanted to go to Penn State Regional this year, especially because it's a college DD is considering, and this is the closest regionals will be to us for a while. Unfortunately she has quite the week though! Class trip Weds-Thurs, and states this weekend. We'll still be watching from home though!

Being about 10 miles from Corvallis, I'm Oregon State all the way. I know that's unrealistic, but I can dream! I hope all the girls can have a good meet. And go Jade Carey!
I have usually followed elite gymnastics but because of Jade I now enjoy college gymnastics too!

Very cool!

Sweet! Very cool!

 

[Coach Kate]

Maggie hit a great beam!

I'm watching some with our daughter (2) but she doesn't watch any other TV so her attention span for it is minimal. Every time someone sticks, she says "boom!".

I listened to some of the penn State regional earlier. I'm glad Gabi Stephen got the 10 on vault. I would love MSU to make nationals as a team, but if not, then she will at least go for vault!

 

[Coach Kate]

And they just showed Maggie's excellent bars, too! Great meet for her! If UCLA advanced to nationals, she's currently in position for an individual all around spot.

 

[bookworm]

She's second to Jordan Chiles in the AA! Well done!

 

[Coach Kate]

Didn't make it on last night, but wow, Denver! They were on fire.

We're going to have some really nice weather the next couple days so that usually means I'm out at parks. I may not get to watch as much, although having kids who nap and go to bed early means I've got a chance to see some of the action.
