The Women's final National Rankings are comprised of the Top 12 Finishers at Natinoals, plus the other teams ranked by the total of their Regional Score plus Regional Qualifying Score.

2015 Women's Regional Preview

Greg

It's the final push to Nationals for the final 36 teams! Who will advance from the Regional? Which Top 12 team will be upset? It's anyone's guess. Here's a short preview of a pressure-packed weekend.

The SEC is one of the strongest conferences in women’s gymnastics to date. In the last 10 NCAA National Championships, an SEC team has won the title 9 times. Three different teams within the SEC have held the NCAA National Title: Florida, Georgia and Alabama. In last year’s Super Six (final 6 teams contending for the title), four teams represented the SEC. This year, all 8 SEC teams have consistently held a top 25 spot the entire regular season. With talent, determination, and redemption at an all time high, this year’s SEC Championship in Duluth, GA will be a tight…

Skills of Note in the 2015 Season (W)

The following is a listing of high level skills performed by women in the 2015 Season. To make this list, the skill had to be successfully competed in a meet sometime during the season. The skill competed must have an FIG rating of "E" or "F" or "G", or an FIG Vault Difficult Value of 5.3 or higher.

The issue of escalating difficult leading to higher injury rates and more wear and tear on the athlete is important. The purpose of this list is not to encourage or foster unreasonable risk or other threats to the safety of the athletes. In fact, many of the skills on this list were only competed in special circumstances. This list simply serves as an archive and collection of skills actually performed by the athletes.

Weekly Recap: Heading to the Mid-Point

Written by Super User

UCLA's Danusia Francis Shows a Full Oversplit

We're almost halfway through the season, and we're going to see a switch to the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) in a few weeks. Now that the jitters and novelty of the new season is wearing off, we're starting to see some clear trends emerge. "Slow Starters" are making big improvements while "Early Leaders" are finding new teams nipping at their heels. As we head into the "mid-point shakeup", here are some observations.

Recruiting Tips: Three Key Tips in Building a Powerful College Recruiting Mission Statement

Tom Kovic

College coaches are brilliant recruiters and look for three key components when evaluating prospects. First, they look for strong students who meet and exceed eligibility and admissions standards. Second, they are looking for direct impact athletes who thrive at their events and will drive the team to higher levels. Finally, they want self-aware young men and women who bring a strong character component to the table.

Weekly Recap: Scoring "201"

Written by Super User

We're a full month into the season and we're going to take a break from our regular weekly recap to take a look at how judges score routines. But rather than explaining the basics, we are offering a course in "Scoring 201": an intermediate look at some of the deductions beyond the obvious and clear deductions taken by the judges. We are hoping to shed light on where the judges in more strictly judged meets are taking their deductions, for fans that may be unfamiliar with the more subtle points of scoring. We're not experts, but this will hopefully serve…

Weekly Recap: The Field Bunches Up

Written by Super User

Another weekend has passed, and we've see more questions open up about the season as the rankings have shuffled once again. Team that started strong have since wobbled a bit, while others with some early stumbles have steadily climbed. And we've seen some others that have been steady and consistent in the meets thus far, and have solid Top 25 positions to show for it. As 197 becomes the new 196, let's see how the week has gone....

Weekly Recap: Mixing It Up

Written by Super User

The second full week is in the bag (the third weekend overall) and we are already seeing the fan excitement, enthusiasm and in some cases, speculation and angst, build. It's a been a wild weekend full of standout performances and rising stars. And, unfortunately, we're seeing injury and scoring variation dominate the conversation. Here's our weekly recap...

CollegeGymFans.com Top Recruiting Classes of 2014-2015

Written by Administrator

We're about to start the 2015 season, and we're once again waiting until the last moment to release our ranking of the Top Recruiting Classes. This edition, 2014-2015, is one where we are seeing the full impact of early recruiting. In some cases, the gymnasts who originally committed at age 16 or younger did not end up matriculating at their original college choice. And, with scholarships opening up due to transfers or retirement, we're seeing a rash of late recruiting, early entries (early graduation), and mid-year starts. In fact, our choice for number one had an early grad further strengthen…
