2024 NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships Bracket | Pac-12 Women's Gymnastics Record Book

For the third consecutive year, all eight Pac-12 Women’s Gymnastics programs were selected to compete in NCAA Regionals announced on Monday morning live on NCAA.com. Regionals are set to begin on April 23. 

• Three Pac-12 teams claimed a top-16 seed - No. 3 CALIFORNIA, No. 5 UTAH and No. 11 UCLA.
• The Golden Bears secured the Conference’s sole hosting duties, welcoming eight programs to Haas Pavilion, including league rivals ARIZONA STATE, STANFORD, UCLA and WASHINGTON, for the California Regional.
• ARIZONA and OREGON STATE will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Arkansas Regional, while UTAH will be the sole Conference member competing as a part of the Florida Regional. 
• Utah completed a four-peat at the 2024 Pac-12 Championships on March 23 at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah. The win marked a tie for the most consecutive wins in Pac-12 Championships history and the first four-peat since 1990 (UCLA). UCLA sophomore Selena Harris (vault, co-bars) secured two individual event wins and an all-around score (39.825) that equaled the Pac-12 Championship record set in 2003. Oregon State’s Jade Carey (co-bars, floor) and Utah's Maile O’Keefe (beam) picked up the remaining individual event titles.

Competing at home as the top-seed in the California Regional will be No. 3 California, which posted the best NQS in the Conference in 2024 (198.180). The Golden Bears completed the season as one of just three programs in the country to score an NQS of 198 (Oklahoma, LSU) and finished third at the 2024 Pac-12 Championships. The No. 3 seed will face off against No. 14 Auburn, Stanford and the winner of Southern Utah/San Jose State. The Golden Bears will be competing in their 12th consecutive NCAA Regionals (28th all-time).

No. 5 Utah will start its NCAA run in the Florida Regional against No. 12 Michigan State, Towson and Maryland on Friday, April 5 at 10 a.m. PT. The Red Rocks, fresh off their fourth straight Pac-12 Championships title, will be competing for a record 48th-consecutive national championship appearance this season. The Red Rocks are the only program in the nation to qualify for every national championship and have won 34 Regional titles (31 NCAA) and have finished runner-up the other 13 years. After third-place finishes at the last three National Finals, Utah is looking to break through and win its first national title since 1995. 5th-year Maile O'Keefe, the nation's runner-up on the beam, will be key to the Red Rocks' championship hopes.

The last of the league's top-16 seeds is No. 11 UCLA, which will join the four Pac-12 teams in the California Regional, and who will compete on April 5th against No. 6 Denver, Arizona State and Washington. Finishing just .125 behind the Utes, the Bruins secured their second runner-up Pac-12 Championship finish. Hoping to secure their 25th NCAA Regional Title, and first look at their ninth NCAA title, the Bruins will rely on sophomore Selena Harris, the only Pac-12 gymnast to finish the season as the country's leader in an individual event (vault) and who earned the most perfect 10s of any league athlete this season. 

Although not entering the NCAA postseason as a top-16 seed, the Oregon State Beavers are competing in their 50th consecutive postseason for a chance at their 30th National Championship appearance. OSU is looking to win its first regional title since 2011, which came in Corvallis. Same as last season, the Beavers are being led by three-time Pac-12 floor and two-time all-around champion Jade Carey, who finished the season as fourth in the country on bars. The Beavers are seeking their best finish in the NCAA Championships since finishing fourth in 1991. 

Stanford will enter postseason competition for the third straight year and 42nd time in program history. The Cardinal is set to compete in the second session of the California Regional against No. 3 California, No. 14 Auburn and the winner of Southern Utah/San Jose State. The Cardinal started the 2024 season slow, but finished with the Conference’s largest RTN rankings jump, moving from their lowest spot at No. 52 to their highest at No. 20. 

The Arizona State Sun Devils will make their sixth straight NCAA Regional appearance as they join No. 6 Denver, No. 11 UCLA and Washington in the California Regional’s second round. With an outstanding regular season, the Sun Devils finished with an NQS of 196, remaining in the top-25 for the entirety of the season with their third consecutive winning record. Heading into the Regionals, the Sun Devils have had 11 straight 196+-point meets as they look to top their best finish of second place (1997) and claim their first NCAA championship. 

Arizona will make its fifth straight appearance (35th all-time), facing off against No. 7 Kentucky, No. 10 Arkansas and Nebraska in the Arkansas Regional. The Wildcats are in the market for their first-ever Regional title and first NCAA Championship appearance since 2002 (11th).

The Washington Huskies round out the conference’s NCAA Regional berths as they head to Berkeley to take on No. 6 Denver, No. 11 UCLA and Arizona State on April 5th. After advancing to their first regional final since 2018 last year, the Huskies have seen three consecutive NCAA postseasons.

REGIONALS FORMAT 

There are four regional sites each consisting of nine teams and approximately three all-around competitors that are not on a qualifying team. Each regional will also include four individual specialists per event, who will also be individuals not on a qualifying team.  

This year, the four regional sites are: 

• Crisler Center (Ann Arbor, Mich.)
• Haas Pavilion (Berkeley, Calif.)
• Bud Walton Arena (Fayetteville, Ark)
• Exactech Arena (Gainesville, Fla.)

The top 36 teams in the Road to Nationals rankings – based on national qualifying score (NQS) are selected to compete in the NCAA Regionals. The NCAA selection committee will identify the top 16 teams and seed them in the bracket to lock in their spot, while teams 17-36 are arranged geographically at one of the four regional sites.  

The committee also selected the top 12 all-around competitors and top 16 event specialists based on NQS and placed them geographically into one of the four regional sites while adhering to the selection procedures. The list of all-arounders and individual event specialists included individual-qualifying scores from the teams competing in the first round to ensure those individuals will compete in the individual competition if their team does not advance from the first round.

Regionals will span from Wednesday, April 3-Sunday April 7. The first day of competition is a dual meet that will serve as a play-in meet to enter the next round. 

The second round will consist of eight teams, and the regional final just four. Regional competition will consist of nine teams, three all-around individual competitors, and four individual specialists for each event.
