OSU Gymnastics competed in Session 1 of the Second Round of the NCAA Regional Championships in Corvallis this past Friday.
* OSU scored a 196.325, and placed third in the session, so missed qualifying for the Finals on Sunday.
* OSU had the second highest score among the 16 teams in the Second Round that did not qualify to Regional Finals; highest was (#19 ranked) Iowa’s 196.750, lowest of those qualifying was (#18 ranked) Ohio State’s 196.550 – the only non-seed to make Regional Finals!

(I didn’t watch much of this replay, but it’s a bit annoying to hear the former gymnast from Florida (State??) calling OSU “Oregon”! I also wish they would fix some of the transitions from full screen to split-screen in the middle of a routine, where the screen goes black & you miss a second or two of the 1st routine!)
