Gymnastics Team Headed To Gainesville Regional

The 2017 National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Championships regional selections were announced Monday by the NCAA and North Carolina is headed to the Gainesville, Fla., Regional.

Six teams, four all-around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and two individual event specialists per event [who have a minimum Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) of 9.4] were named to each of the six predetermined host sites.

Carolina will be joined in Gainesville by host Florida (No. 3 overall seed), Georgia, Missouri, New Hampshire and Penn State. This is Carolina's first NCAA Regional appearance since 2013.

The top 18-teams are seeded nationally, based on RQS, and placed into the bracket.
