Everything pretty much went according to plan in the NCAA Gymnastics Athens regional on Saturday afternoon, with the top two seeds LSU and Georgia finishing in the top two places to advance to the NCAA national meet. And even though both teams underperformed relative to their RQS rankings, they had very good scores compared to the other regional competitions, which were all going on at the same time. LSU finished with the second-highest score of any team in any regional on the day with a 197.300, and Georgia finished 5th-highest with a 196.850.
The only thing that really mattered, though, was that we finished in the top two in Athens, so we're going on to nationals.
