2025 Alabama Regional Preview - College Gym News

If Skye Blakely is going to be added to the beam team, we'll see it in the first round of regionals. Skye is capable of adding score and stability to the beam team. I don't think CGN knows how close Skye is to adding beam.

The Path to Nationals
Florida
Season Spotlight

The Gators are the definition of “down but not out”. Despite injuries to Kayla DiCello, Sloane Blakely, and Ellie Lazzari, Florida has managed to rewrite the record books this season, earning the highest bars score in NCAA history at the SEC championship and tallying the highest team score in the nation this season.

What It’ll Take

Florida is favored to advance, but in order to secure its spot in Fort Worth, it will need another big performance from its all-arounders. Selena Harris-Miranda has only scored below a 9.800 twice all year, while Leanne Wong has been relatively consistent minus a few struggles on beam. When both are hitting on all cylinders, Florida can be unstoppable.

Interesting that Skye is shown working on beam.

 

College Gym News - The Mount - Regional Predictions:

The Mount: Regionals Previews and Predictions - College Gym News

The six predictions have UF at 1, 6-0.

Cal is 5-1.

Bama picked up one prediction to advance over Cal. It could happen as the tide has that kind of potential, but Cal has been more consistent and is the better team. The tide does have the home floor advantage, but if they can beat Cal, they can beat UF. I've got UF and Cal advancing.

 

The Gators quest for nationals begins Friday night:

Thursday Regional Results - 4 Teams Moving to Regional Final:

Pennsylvania

Session 1
8 Michigan State 197.6250
9. Kentucky 197.5250

Session 2
1 LSU 198.1000
16 Arkansas 197.5500

Utah

Session 1
5 UCLA 197.7500
12 Minnesota 197.2000

Session 2
4 Utah 197.6500
18 Denver 197.6500

The first upset of the tourney came at the Utah regional with 13 Stanford not advancing with a 196.5000 score. The cardinal couldn't duplicate their Cinderella season from 2024.

While not an upset, Denver's score to tie Utah is remarkable. To say the Pioneers did badly to start the season is an understatement. The Denver HC said they didn't have any Olympians on the roster so they would have to outwork every team in the country. Apparently, she got her team to do just that.

I'm struck with all of the 197+ scores to advance to round 2. Either teams are really dialed in or there is some loose judging going on. LSU's 198.1000 is no surprise.

To be sure, the Gators need to come in focused and ready to go. Cal and bama have good teams plus the tide has home floor advantage.

The Alabama and Washington regionals are being served up on ESPN+ today.

For those wondering, you can watch softball at 6 PM ET on SEC Network+ followed by gymnastics at 8 PM ET on ESPN+.

For those who are hardcore baseball, the only option is the first 30 minutes of softball followed by changing to baseball at 6:30 PM ET on SEC Network+.

I'll be watching gymnastics regionals prior to softball followed by UF in the Alabama regional.
