The 2016 NCAA season is coming to its climatic finish. This weekend marks the first stop on the road to the NCAA championship. The NCAA regionals will take place in six locations around the country this Saturday, with the top 2 teams, and top 2 all arounders (not members of the top 2 teams) * qualifying onto the NCAA Championship semi finals in Fort Worth Texas on April 14th. The top 3 teams from each of two semi finals will compete in the “Super Six” team finals for the National Championship on April 15th. 
This season Region 5 Alums have done very well representing their respective schools with 19 individual athletes (AA and event specialists) along with gymnasts from 27 schools (teams qualified to regionals) qualifying to this years regional championships. Ten of our Region 5 Alums are ranked in the top 25 nationally in the AA or individual events this season.
