The No. 13 Gopher women's gymnastics team is set to compete in the 2026 NCAA Regionals in Corvallis, Oregon, aiming to advance to nationals. They will face No. 5 UCLA, No. 19 Iowa, and either Washington or San Jose State in the regional semifinals. Minnesota finished the Big Ten season strong with a 21-6 record, notably taking second place in the conference and third in the Big Ten Championships. The top two teams from the regionals will qualify for the national competition in Fort Worth, Texas, from April 16-18. Key performances this season include Arianna Ostrum, who has been a standout rookie for the team.

By the Numbers
  • Gophers' record: 21-6 (7-2 Big Ten)
  • Top team score of the season: 197.825, fourth-best in program history
State of Play
  • Minnesota ranks 13th overall in the Road to Nationals rankings.
  • They have 41 event titles this season, led by Arianna Ostrum (13) and Jordyn Lyden (11).
What's Next
