Gymbacks Get No. 16 Seed, Placed in University Park Regional

The Gymbacks will begin their postseason journey out east as Arkansas has been selected to compete in the University Park Regional hosted by Penn State next week.

As the No. 16 national seed, the Razorbacks will compete against No. 1 LSU, Michigan and either Maryland or West Viriginia in the second semifinal of the University Park Regional on Thursday, April 3. Maryland and West Virginia will have a play-in meet on Wednesday, April 2 to determine which of the two will face off with the Razorbacks, Tigers and Wolverines.

The top two teams from Arkansas’ semi along with the top two of No. 8 Michigan State, No. 9 Kentucky, Ohio State and Penn State will advance to the regional final on Saturday, April 5. From the regional final, two will advance to the NCAA Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth April 17-19.

Monday’s selection marks 21 straight regional appearances for Arkansas, and the fifth under head coach Jordyn Wieber. In her tenure, the Gymbacks have advanced to regional finals three times, which includes last year’s final in Fayetteville, where Arkansas punched a ticket to its first NCAA Championships in six years.

All sessions of regional competition will be streamed live on ESPN+. The first semifinal on April 3 is set for 12 p.m. CT, and Arkansas’ second semifinal will start at 6 p.m. CT. The regional final on April 5 is slated for 4 p.m. CT.
