Expect the unexpected — and plenty of Yurchenkos — when the NCAA gymnastics college semifinals kick off Thursday.
Eight of the nation’s best programs jostle for superiority amid the glow of the Dickies Arena starlight during the dual session.
It will be a showcase filled with celestial talents. LSU’s Haleigh Bryant, Oklahoma’s Jordan Bowers, Florida’s Leanne Wong and Utah’s Grace McCallum represent a portion of the cream of the crop in Thursday’s contest. They’re far from alone, however. The lowest-ranked team of the eight competing in the semifinals — No. 8 Stanford — has rallied off four-straight performances of 197.175 or better.
Suffice to say, there’s plenty to look forward to when the chalk drops on Thursday afternoon. Prepare for theatrics — and acrobatics — as the action kicks off from Fort Worth, Texas.
The Sporting News is tracking the top performances from Thursday’s NCAA gymnastics college semifinals from Dickies Arena. Follow along to see which gymnasts shined on the biggest stage in collegiate gymnastics.
