UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The NCAA Championships on the schedule means the biggest weekend in collegiate gymnastics is here, and there will be a Nittany Lion present to represent the Blue and White.
Freshman Lauren Bridgens advanced to the NCAA Championships after tying for third with an all-around score of 39.200 at Penn State's NCAA Regional Championships meet on April 7. Bridgens' scores throughout the day landed her the privilege of traveling to nationals, and she will be competing as an individual, separate from her own squad, alongside the Arkansas gymnastics team.
The freshman from Maryland has had one incredible rookie season.
