ALUMonday for NCAA Week 5

February 7, 2022

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.

What’s to come in this episode:

The Insider gains ESPN status… At least one of us did! The floor performances from our alums in week 4 were through the roof even the Michigan Storm Trooper was impressed. The Auburn Gymnasties had their own take on floor routine choreography. Front handspring board entries on vault are making a comeback, lots of 9.9s and R5 Alum Olivia Karas drops by to give Kim her feedback.
