Season Preview Capsules Last season's finale saw the UCLA Bruins return to the top of the team podium, holding off fast rising upstart Oklahoma. Bama was close behind in third, just ahead of Stanford and host Florida. In fact, places #2 to #5 were separated by the narrowest of margins. Just 0.25 separated the teams that finished 2nd through 5th in the Super Six. In a year of big changes, defending National Champion Georgia Gym did not even advance to the National meet, after five straight National Titles. They tied for 2nd at their Regional, but lost the tiebreaker to Oregon State, proving once again the smallest of errors can make a difference, and that every routine counts. The increasing talent and coaching parity in the NCAA, combined with rules that put the emphasis on execution, are creating a highly competitive situation. Since the NCAA began sanctioning a championships in Women's Gymnastics in 1982, just four teams have won the National title: Bama, UCLA, UGA, and Utah. Will this be the year that another school finally breaks into that illustruous club? Defending champion UCLA will be seeking their 7th National title, and will be loaded with most of their returning stars. Plus, they welcome one of the nation's strongest recruiting classes, headlined by Olympian Sam Peszek. Or will Florida or Oklahoma be able to unseat the Bruins? Florida features a lineup packed with elite-level stars including 2010 US World Championship team member Mackenzie Caquatto. Last year, Coach Faehn said the team's performance was impacted by the weight of their own expectations of competing for the title in their home gym. This season, a new mental approach is planned to help them ascend to the top spot. The Sooners, on the other hand, have lost some key athletes like star Hollie Vise, but they too return a strong veteran core and welcome a talented cast of newcomers. Last year's RQS #1 ranked team, Alabama, is back with another tough squad, and has a talented set of newcomers as well. Not to be overlooked is Stanford, which lost top AAer Carly Janiga but adds Canadian World Championship team member Kristina Vaculik. The final member of last season's Super Six, Utah, welcomes a large set of frosh, led by elite star Corrie Lothrop, that look to return the Utes back to the Super Six once again. Just outside of last year's Super Six, but looking to break into the top ranks are Nebraska, Oregon State, Michigan, LSU, Arkansas and Missouri. Michigan returns a veteran squad, bolstered by the return of fifth year senior Sarah Curtis. Nebraska returns 22 of 24 rouetines from last year's National Finals, where they finished 7th. Likewise, Oregon State returns a strong core and welcomes a strong incoming class, including former National Team member Britney Ranzy. Last season, Missouri returned to the NCAA finals after a long absence. With increasing parity, any number of teams could knock off a traditional favorite and make their way to the National meet. A number of offseason coaching changes will also add a new flavor to the mix, with perhaps a record number of changes at the returning Top 25 teams. Despite the threat of potentially game changing rule changes, in the end, much has remained the same. The threat of a "all scores count" system is gone, and teams still count the top five scores per event. The NCAA code modifications were once again very minor, with very few changes that will impact skill selection or scores. In fact, this may be the least amount of changes in a season in recent memory. The net result will be more teams than ever will be capable of posting a high team score at Regionals, and the smallest of errors could lead to a team staying at home in April. The tables below as complete as we know at this point in the season. If you have additional updates or corrections, please submit them using the link above. |
