February 14, 2022

It’s the half way point in the season and the focus now switches to the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS and begin that push to qualify for the post season. We have many Region 5 Alums on teams that should have a legit chance at making it to Regionals. However many of our former athletes will be looking to get into regionals as an individual competitor and represent their schools on one or multiple events.

Make sure you check out our College Salute Podcast (posted every Wednesday during the collegiate season) where we break down the weeks action, but of course we have our ALUMonday where we highlight more of the awesome routines that our Region 5 Alums did during the previous week of NCAA action.

Here are 10 routines that stood out in Week 6 on NCAA action.

What’s to come in this episode:

Week 5 was filled with first career10’s, 4 in one meet, Region 5 Alum with one of those and some instances where it’s a mystery why it wasn’t 10. Is their more subjectivity in college judging then we want to admit. The Alabama Tri meet became a salute to a MAC conference standout, how do Region 5 Alums rank in the national standings at the half way point, and we spotlight 3 Alums performances from D3 WhiteWater. That and who is Makarri Doggette’s biggest fans? No subjectivity there!

It’s that time of year again when we get to watch multiple college gymnastics meets every weekend for 12 plus weeks. The match-ups, the cheers, the flips, and of course the BIG College Salutes. Region 5 is lucky to have a large amount of former athletes competing in college and this is the place to follow their careers. Besides our College Salute Podcast (posted every Wednesday during the collegiate season) where we break down the weeks action, we have our ALUMonday where we highlight some of the awesome routines that our Region 5 Alums did during the previous week of NCAA action.

Here are 10 routines that stood out in Week 5 on NCAA action.
