’26 NCAA Gymnastics Nationals Semi-final TEAM RESULTS
The first semi-final was not what any of the teams wanted.
FINAL
Florida 197.7875
LSU 197.4375
Georgia 197.2625
Stanford 196.9375
Still, Georgia and Stanford are two of the teams that impressed me most this season. Both are optimistic for 2027.
The second semi-final started with what every other team fears ➙ Oklahoma sticking almost all their vaults!
AND … we have an upset.
Oklahoma 198.300
Minnesota 197.4625
UCLA 197.275
Arkansas 196.9375
Minnesotttttttaaaaaa. Same story as the regional final. Minnesota simply didn’t lose their minds and allowed others to, and this time it was UCLA.
UCLA was just enough down on expected score from bars that they could not afford a weak vault, and having to count a 9.5 was not survivable.
