LSU GYMNASTICS TO COMPETE IN SEMIFINAL I AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
BATON ROUGE – The LSU
gymnastics team learned Monday that the Tigers will compete in
Semifinal I of the NCAA Championships that starts at 11 a.m. CT on
April 20 in Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, Ga.
LSU will make
its 23rd appearance at the NCAA Championships, and the Tigers will
compete as the No. 11 seed with a national qualifying score of 392.645.
The
NQS is determined by adding a team’s regional qualifying score (RQS)
and a team’s score in the NCAA Regional meet, so LSU added its 196.570
RQS to the 196.075 the Tigers scored at the NCAA Seattle Regional.
LSU (14-12) will compete against No. 2 seed UCLA, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Utah and No. 10 Stanford.
This
marks LSU’s second postseason competition inside Gwinnett Arena this
year as the Tigers competed at the SEC Championship on March 24.
For
the first time this postseason LSU will not start the meet on the bye
before floor. The Tigers open on the bye before bars and then rotate to
bars, beam, bye, floor and vault.
The second session
begins at 5 p.m. and features No. 1 seed Florida, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5
Georgia, No. 8 Arkansas, No. 9 Oregon State and No. 12 Ohio State.
The
top three finishers from each session advance to the NCAA Super Six
Finals April 21 at 3 p.m., and LSU seeks its third appearance in the
national championship meet. The Tigers advanced to the Super Six in
2008 and 2009.
Tickets can be purchased by logging on to
www.TicketMaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000. All-session tickets
