Oklahoma (24-3, 2-0 Big 12) advanced to its ninth-straight NCAA Championships and won its third straight regional title with its first place finish at the Champaign Regional.
Despite losing another gymnast (Hayden Ward) to a season-ending injury in the first routine of the night at regionals, junior All-American Kayla Nowak will be back in competition for the Sooners after suffering a hand injury the week before the Big 12 championship.
Nowak competed on bars, beam and floor in all 12 of OU's regular season meets and was also an all-around competitor in OU's win over Alabama in Norman. Last year at NCAA Championships, Nowak earned All-America honors on both bars and finished 12th on bars during event finals.
Semifinal pairings were determined based on the National Qualifying Score (NQS) which was calculated by adding the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) to the team's score during regional competition.
Once the NQS was calculated, teams were ranked based on their NQS from one to 12. The 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 12 seeded teams were placed in one session, while teams 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 made up the other.
