Lovely Leotards of NCAA's Final Vote
We have searched high and low and through thousands of photos to find our favorite leos and now is the time to make your voice heard! With your help, we have found our finalists and below are the winners from each day of competition.

Take a glance through these beautiful leos and then vote at the bottom for the single best leo from all of NCAA Nationals. Polls close Thursday, May 1st at midnight so make sure to get your vote in before then.


Winner from Part 1: Prelims- Michigan
 

This gorgeous leo was designed by Michigan junior Sachi Sugiyama and won from prelims with 32% of the votes. Sachi is an art and design major, has designed five of Michigan’s leos for this season, and is already sketching out a few for next year! Sachi is not only a key part of Michigan’s fashion, but she is also a leader on the team and consistently competed on three events for Michigan all season. 

There are two things that stand out about this leo and the first is the sleeves. The sleeves are a combination of yellow and blue that meld into each other but are also distinct as two separate colors. The second part, which is possibly more impressive, is the deep v-neck with a scalloped edge and bursts of rhinestones shooting out from the center. A final detail that might be overlooked is the decorative rhinestone pattern on the shoulders and at the end of the sleeves which add elegance to the already exquisite leo.

Winner from Part 2: Super Six- Nebraska
 

This unique and edgy leo came out on top with 30% of the votes for day two of NCAA’s. Nebraska has had some controversial outfits (hint: the lace back leo) but I think this one was appealing to all. 

This leo creates a striking contrast between the metallic silver and deep red that immediately caught my eye… and then I saw the back and was even more hooked.  The back was unique yet still tasteful with the open hole and criss crossed black rhinestone strips. The rhinestone lines on the red body balance out the busy top and back of the leo, as do the Nebraska “N” and B1G logos.  

Winner from Part 3: Event Finals- Oklahoma
 

Oklahoma was probably the most impressive team leo wise (and some may argue gymnastically as well!) They consistently displayed stunning and elegant leos that were eye catching but didn’t take away from their gymnastics. This leo gained 24% of the votes for event finals but only won over their other event final leo by ONE VOTE!

This leo has a beautiful color in contrasting materials, loads of rhinestones in intricate designs, and unique cut outs on the back… What more could you want? The sharp angles of the rhinestone designs, neck line, and material edges all compliment each other to create an edgy leo.
