The ladies of the Oregon State Gymnastics team went into the Raleigh Regional with the intention of putting on a performance that would propel themselves to nationals for the 2nd straight year. However, it just wasn't meant to be this season.
The Beavers headed into the regionals ranked 14th in the nation. In the same Raleigh Regional, Oregon State faced No. 2 LSU, No. 11 Nebraska, No. 19 George Washington, No. 20 North Carolina State, and unranked Maryland; a tough lineup of teams to face, to put it mildly. In addition to this tough slate of teams, Oregon State would have to place in the top 2 amongst all other teams just to advance to nationals in St.
