Important Information:


Vault event finals will be run a little differently this year. Since there are 24 finalists, each gymnast will only perform ONE vault and the 6 judges scores will be averaged for their final score. This is ONLY for vault! Every other event will run the same as usual: drop the high and low and average the middle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In the final day of competition at the 2013 NCAA women's Gymnastics Championship, we'll see individual athetes vying for national titles. Below are the draws for each of the four event finals. 

Competition is set to begin at 1pm PST. 



Vanessa Zamaripa of UCLA is ranked #1 on vault and won the NCAA Vault title in 2011. She had an uncharacteristic fall on vault during last night's Super Six, so she will be looking for redemption today in her final competition as a Bruin. 






Georgia's Chelsea Davis has been ranked #1 for most of the year. She'll look to bring the bar title back to Georgia as Kat Ding won last year. She'll face tough competition from All Around Champion Bridget Sloan who edged Davis for the #1 ranking in the most recent polls. 







Oklahoma's Taylor Spears is ranked #1 on beam be unfortunately we will not see her in today's finals. It's anyone's game. Danusia Francis of UCLA has a beautiful routine that is not to miss! 







Florida's Marissa King helped Florida to the NCAA Championships yesterday on her birthday. Can she win another title today? She opens with a perfect double layout and has high scoring potential. LSU's Lloimincia Hall and Michigan's Joanna Sampson are currently tied for #1 on the event. However, Hall did not advance to finals, which is a shame.
