Jade Carey, Oregon State, beam

Although the Olympic floor champion is the top-ranked all-arounder, Carey didn’t qualify for the NCAA all-around competition as an individual during the regional round. With one 10 on beam this year and nine consecutive scores of 9.95 or better on the event, Carey could become Oregon State’s first beam NCAA champion.

Norah Flatley, Arkansas, beam

Gymnastics fans hoped that the former UCLA star would reunite with her Bruin teammates at nationals, but Flatley will instead rotate with Utah in the second semifinal to compete on beam for a final time in college. It’s Flatley’s second time competing as an individual at nationals after making the all-around cut with the Bruins last year.

Derrian Gobourne, Auburn, floor

The charismatic Auburn senior whose popular floor routine is an ode to HBCUs advanced to nationals as an individual out of the Los Angeles Regional and will rotate with Utah in the second semifinal.

Natalie Wojcik, Michigan, bars

Two seasons after winning the program’s first national title, Michigan faltered in the regional final, but sent four individual competitors to nationals. With a unique Deltchev release skill on bars, Wojcik is looking for her second individual NCAA title after winning on beam in 2019.
