The 2025 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships will decide national champions from April 17-19 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. We’ll have live updates of Thursday’s semifinals and individual finals here. Jump to the latest updates.
Up for grabs this week are six titles: team, all-around, vault, bars, beam, and floor. The five individual titles will be decided Thursday, April 17 during semifinal competition, with the top-ranked individual(s) in each individual category being crowned national champion following the conclusion of Session II. The team title will be decided on Saturday, April 19, when the top two teams from each of Thursday’s semifinal sessions meet in the Four on the Floor team final.
Semifinal I – featuring No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 3 Florida, No. 7 Missouri, and No. 11 Alabama – is at 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Semifinal II – featuring No. 1 LSU, No. 4 Utah, No. 5 UCLA, and No. 8 Michigan State – follows at 9 p.m. ET. You can watch both semifinals on ESPN2 or ESPN+.

Bolded event is where a team will start. Individuals listed are those who will rotate with the team. If a rotation and event is listed next to an individual’s name, that is the rotation in which they will compete that specific event they qualified for. All-arounders will compete in all four rotations.
Athletes on qualifying teams are also eligible for individual titles. An individual qualifier is eligible for titles on any event they compete, so for example, Cal’s Mya Lauzon is eligible to win the beam and floor titles, and Oregon State’s Jade Carey is eligible to win any individual titles because she is competing in the all-around and, therefore, on all four events as well.

Thu. April 17 @ 10:18 p.m.
UCLA’s Mika Webster-Longin (knee) has been taken to the locker room for X-rays and is not expected to return.
Thu. April 17 @ 10:11 p.m.
At the halfway point:
- Michigan State – 98.8375
- Utah – 98.775
- UCLA – 98.7625
- LSU – 98.650
All four teams are separated by less than TWO-TENTHS heading to rotation 3. Literally anyone could advance at this point.
UCLA had a solid vault rotation, finding their landings and being highlighted by a 9.9 from Chae Campbell. They also avoided counting a 9.4375 from Mika Webster-Longin, who seemed to be injured on her vault. Michigan State jumped into the lead after an outstanding bar rotation that saw three scores of 9.9+, including a 9.9375 from Gabrielle Stephen. LSU was good, but not great on beam, only scoring a 9.9 from Konnor McClain. Aleah Finnegan fell in the anchor spot, meaning the team had to count a 9.8 and missed out on potentially crucial tenths. Utah had an excellent showing on floor, scoring over 9.9 on four routines, including a 9.95 from Grace McCallum.
Individual scores:
- VT: Sophia Diaz (Michigan) – 9.7125
- UB: Maddie Jones (Arkansas) – 9.775
- BB: Jade Carey (Oregon State) – 9.95 – no beam title for Jade, but she’s still in the mix for the all-around
- FX: Joscelyn Roberson (Arkansas) – 9.9
Thu. April 17 @ 9:59 p.m.
Mika Webster-Longin seemed to lock out her legs landing vault and looked like she was injured walking off.
A short while later, Aleah Finnegan falls on beam on her front aerial and looks shocked. Thankfully for the Tigers, that was their anchor routine. Yes, they’ll have to count a 9.800 – which isn’t ideal with the other three teams in this meet – but it could be worse.
Thu. April 17 @ 9:32 p.m.
After rotation 1:
- UCLA – 49.525
- Michigan State – 49.3875
- LSU – 49.325
- Utah – 49.2125
A very interesting rotation to start this exciting meet!
Michigan State was lights out on vault, putting up a 49.3875, including a 9.9125 from Amy Doyle and 9.95 from Sage Kellerman – the two highest vault scores so far during the semifinals. It was a similar story for UCLA on floor, with Brooklyn Moors leading the team with a 9.9625, which leads the competition right now. LSU was strong on bars, but the Tigers only put up a 9.9 from Lexi Zeiss, who led the defending national champions off. Utah struggled on beam with a fall from Camie Winger making the Red Rocks have to count a 9.75 from Amelie Morgan. Avery Neff led the team with a 9.9125.
Individual scores:
- VT: Kaya Forbes (UNC) – 9.7875
- UB: Jade Carey (Oregon State) – 9.9125
- BB: Joscelyn Roberson (Arkansas) – 9.900
- FX: Mya Lauzon (California) – 9.9125
Thu. April 17 @ 9:08 p.m.
Semifinal 2 is underway!
Thu. April 17 @ 7:16 p.m.
If you thought that semifinal was competitive, just wait for No. 1 LSU vs. No. 4 Utah vs. No. 5 UCLA vs. No. 8 Michigan State! We’ll be back at 9 p.m. ET to see how it all unfolds!
Thu. April 17 @ 7:06 p.m.
Less than a tenth stood between Missouri and Florida heading into the final rotation of the first semifinal at the 2025 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships, and a tenth ended up being the difference between the Tigers making their first NCAA final appearance ever and the Gators being sent packing.
It came down to the final routines for both teams: Riley McCusker up on bars for the Gators – just weeks after earning her first-ever perfect 10 at the SEC championships on this event – and Helen Hu – who was backpacking around the world and retired a year ago – on beam. Ultimately, the beam specialist who earned her first (and second and third) perfect 10 on the event this season delivered once more, scoring a 9.9875.
Missouri 197.300 – Florida 197.200.
Also advancing to Saturday’s Four on the Floor are the Oklahoma Sooners. A year ago, the Sooners were the biggest story of championships, but not in a good way. After a dominating season, months of hard work was wiped away in a rotation, when the Sooners saw mistake after mistake on vault. This year, they haven’t been as dominate, but ending on vault wasn’t an issue. They scored a 197.550 to win the session and advance.
Alabama was fourth with a 196.825.
With individual titles on the line today, here is who leads with one more semifinal to go:
- AA: Jordan Bowers (Oklahoma) – 39.7125
- VT: Danie Ferris (Florida) – 9.900
- UB: TIE Jordan Bowers (Oklahoma), Mara Titarsolej (Missouri), Leanne Wong (Florida), Alyssa Arana (Florida) – 9.9375
- BB: Helen Hu (Missouri) – 9.9875
- FX: TIE Jordan Bowers (Oklahoma), Faith Torrez (Oklahoma) – 9.950
Thu. April 17 @ 6:46 p.m.
The Oklahoma Sooners redeem themselves a year after catastrophe, and it’s MISSOURI taking down FLORIDA by a tenth to advance to the Tigers’ FIRST-EVER NCAA finals appearance!
Beam queen Helen Hu delivered a 9.9875 in the final spot to book the Tigers’ ticket to the Four on the Floor! WOW!
Thu. April 17 @ 6:10 p.m.
After rotation 3:
- 148.275
- 147.800
- 147.725
- 147.4875
A season-low 49.075 drops Florida to third heading into the final rotation. ESPN says that’s the Gators’ lowest vault score in approximately five years – wow. Missouri jumps ahead by 0.075 after a 49.450 on bars, led by Mara Titarsolej’s 9.9375, which is currently tied with Jordan Bowers for the top score on the event so far today. Meanwhile, Bowers and Faith Torrez posted matching 9.95s to lead OU on floor and lead the floor standings so far. Sooners go 49.525 and have a good lead heading to vault. Just remember: vault is where the Sooners lost the semifinals a year ago, ultimately not advancing to the final in a shocking turn. And vault has been the tightest, scoring-wise.
Individual scores:
- VT: Mary McDonough (Washington) – 9.8125
- UB: Rylie Mundell (Denver) – 9.875
- BB: Gabby McLaughlin (Auburn) – 9.175
- FX: Madison Ulrich (Denver) – 9.85
Thu. April 17 @ 5:40 p.m.
At the halfway point:
- Oklahoma – 98.750
- Florida – 98.650
- Missouri – 98.350
- Alabama – 98.2875
Oklahoma and Missouri escape rotation 2 without having to count falls. Tiger Elise Tisler had a stunning and stuck Yurchenko full that scored a 9.875 (max is a 9.95 for that vault). Alabama’s Ryan Fuller led the Tide on bars with a 9.925. Faith Torrez closed things out for the Sooners on beam with a 9.95, which ties for the highest score of the day on that event so far. Florida couldn’t break into the 9.9s on floor and, surprisingly, Leanne Wong had some minor errors in her routine, resulting in her 9.6625 being dropped. Gabby Disidore and Selena Harris-Miranda led the team with matching 9.8875s.
Individual scores:
- VT: Rosie Casali (Denver) = 9.7125
- UB: Olivia Greaves (Auburn) = 9.7875
- BB: Madison Ulrich (Denver) = 9.8875
- FX: Mary McDonough (Washington) = 9.025 (fall)
Thu. April 17 @ 5:21 p.m.
Oklahoma’s Lily Pederson falls on beam.
And Missouri’s Hannah Horton falls on her Yurchenko 1.5 on vault.
Thu. April 17 @ 5:07 p.m.
After rotation 1:
- Oklahoma – 49.400
- Florida – 49.300
- Missouri – 49.225
- Alabama – 49.125
Oklahoma was led by a 9.9375 from Jordan Bowers. Florida saw an outstanding routine from Selena Harris-Miranda on beam that scored a 9.95. Missouri was consistent, but all counting scores were in the 9.8s – unable to get into 9.9 territory. Alabama had to count a 9.7875.
Individual scores:
- VT: Ady Wahl (Georgia) = 9.875 for an excellent Yurchenko 1.5, just a small step forward.
- UB: Madison Ulrich (Denver) = 9.8875
- BB: Mary McDonough (Washington) = 9.600
- FX: Mya Hooten (Minnesota) = 9.8875 – just a stunning routine to cap Mya’s gymnastics career. Superbly controlled tumbling passes, great energy, and all the feels for the Golden Gopher! One judge gave her a 10, to which we say right on!
Thu. April 17 @ 4:49 p.m.

Alabama and Missouri starting undesirable scores in the 9.7s – those can’t be the norm if they want to advance, especially against powerhouses like Oklahoma and Florida.
Sooners had a great 9.9125 from Lily Pederson, who had one of her best bars sets of the year.
