The top four gymnasts (including ties) should advance to the Event Finals, set to be held on Sunday.  Here's the field based on the results:

Florida's Kytra Hunter and UCLA's Samantha Peszek tied for the 2015 NCAA All-Around Title with a score of 39.6.  Their score from the first session held up in the second, as AU's Caitlin Atkinson and LSU's Rheagan Courville tied for third at 39.55.  LSU's Jessie Jordan was fifth.  Hunter was the NCAA Champion in 2012. 

Oklahoma survived a scare on BB with a counting fall in the last rotation to still win the session, posting a 197.4.  Alabama held off Auburn, 197.1 to 197.075, for 2nd. 

Not advancing from the session are NU (196.675), LSU (196.55) and Oregon State (195.875).  One of the early season leaders, LSU had huge issues on balance beam, counting two falls and numerous wobbles.

As expected Kaprece Nadonza has signed with SJSU.    Announcement
