2024 PAC-12 WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL | RECORD BOOK | LIVE RESULTS 

With the regular season in the books, Pac-12 women’s gymnastics turns its attention to the postseason, beginning with the 2024 Pac-12 Championships, presented by Sprouts Farmers Market, on Saturday, March 23 at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah.

The first session of the day will feature No. 20 STANFORD, No. 21 ARIZONA STATE, No. 22 ARIZONA and WASHINGTON beginning at 12 p.m. PT/1 p.m. MT. The evening session will be a showdown of four of the top-20 ranked teams in the country - No. 2 CALIFORNIA, No. 5 UTAH, No. 11 UCLA and No. 17 OREGON STATE - beginning at 5 p.m. PT/6 p.m. MT. Both sessions will air live on Pac-12 Networks.

With seven teams ranked in the top-25 of the Road to Nationals NQS rankings and all eight Pac-12 programs in the top 27, Saturday’s competition is sure to be intense with all eight squads eying a spot in NCAA Regionals for a third straight year.

No. 2 CALIFORNIA (18-3, 7-0) capped an unbeaten Pac-12 campaign in style on March 10, posting the highest team score in program history (198.550) to defeat rival Stanford and finish the regular season as outright champions at 7-0 for the first time. The Golden Bears have now claimed at least a share of the Conference's regular-season crown each of the past three years, and will look to complete a perfect Pac-12 run with their first Championship meet title this weekend.

To accomplish that, Cal will need to unseat regular season runner-up, three-time defending and six-time overall Pac-12 Championships meet titlist No. 5 UTAH (12-4, 6-1) - the Golden Bears took the head-to-head meeting in Berkeley on March 2 (198.100-197.700). The Red Rocks edged the second-place Golden Bears in both 2021 and 2022 before completing the three-peat over runner-up UCLA and third-place Cal in 2023.

Individually, eight past Pac-12 champions return seeking to add to their event hauls:

• CALIFORNIA's Mya Lauzon (co-beam 2023)
• OREGON STATE's five-time champion Jade Carey (all-around 2022, 2023; co-beam 2023; co-floor 2022, 2023)
• UTAH's two-time champion Grace McCallum (bars 2022; co-floor 2022), four-time champion Maile O'Keefe (all-around 2021; co-bars 2021; co-beam 2021; co-floor 2021), two-time champion Abby Paulson (beam 2022, co-beam 2021) and Jaedyn Rucker (co-floor 2021)

ROAD TO NATIONALS RANKINGS 

• The Road to Nationals rankings serve as the official rankings for NCAA gymnastics as it tracks team and individual scores overall and by event. After week seven competition, the rankings switched to the National Qualifying Score (NQS) rather than a straight average. The NQS, which is calculated by taking the highest six scores of the season, three of which must be road scores, then dropping the high score and averaging the remaining five, is ultimately used to determine which programs qualify for NCAA Regionals. Heading into the 2024 Pac-12 Women’s Gymnastics Championships, seven of eight Pac-12 programs are currently in the top-25 in the country and all eight sit in the top-27, including three in the top-11. All eight programs are on track to qualify for NCAA Regionals for a third consecutive season.
