WASHINGTON - The No. 27 George Washington gymnastics team was selected to compete as the No. 5 seed at the NCAA Athens Regional, which will be hosted by the University of Georgia at Stegeman Coliseum on Saturday, April 2, at 4 p.m.
GW (26-6), coming off a third-place finish at Saturday's East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Championship, returns to NCAA Regionals for the 12th time in program history under 31st-year head coach Margie Foster-Cunningham.
The 5th-seeded Colonials will compete against No. 3 LSU (No. 1 seed), No. 10 Georgia (No. 2), No. 15 Oregon State (No. 3), Arizona (No. 4) and Michigan State (No. 6).
The top two teams and top two all-around competitors who are not on an advancing team from each of the six NCAA Regional sites will advance to the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships, April 15-16, at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena in Forth Worth, Texas.
Additionally, the event winners at each regional will advance to the national championship in that event only, if they are not part of a qualifying team or an all-around qualifier.
Last year, the Colonials totaled four podium appearances, the most by a single team in GW's NCAA Regionals history, en route to a sixth-place finish at the highly competitive Auburn Regional.
Then-freshman Cami Drouin-Allaire became just the second gymnast in program history to qualify for the NCAA National Championships as an individual performer based on her all-around performance at the Auburn Regional.
