It’s finally time for USAG nationals, and I couldn’t be more excited! It is my first time blogging in person, and it is going to be such an exciting competition!
For those who might not be too sure of the qualification process, the top two teams from each semi-final advance to the National Final on Saturday, April 13th at 7 PM EST. Alongside these qualifying teams, the top five on each event from each session will go on to compete in Sunday’s individual event finals; that being said, there is so much great gymnastics that will be happening in just the next 72 hours!
This first session, the top team coming in is No. 51 Texas Woman’s University, who is coming off a 195.875 at the MIC Championships three weeks ago. TWU has no all-around competitors coming into this competition, but has several two or three event athletes that have contributed to the strength and consistency of the team this year. Air Force is coming in ranked nationally at No. 56 and is coming in to this championships strong after its first performance in the Mountain West Conference, where it scored a 195.4500. Maggie Slife has been an extremely strong competitor for Air Force in her first season, having recently had a great debut at the California regionals, so she will definitely be someone…
