INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The No. 3 Arizona State Women's Gymnastics team was selected as the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Northeast Regional April 12, in Ann Arbor Michigan. The competition at Crisler Arena will begin at 6 p.m. and includes (in decreasing order of seed) hosts Michigan, Iowa State, New Hampshire, Penn State and Pittsburgh.
Six teams, five all-around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and one individual event specialist per event (who has a minimum RQS of 9.4) were named to each of the six regions. The top two teams and the top two all-around competitors (who are not on an advancing team) from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships in Lincoln, Neb., April 24-26.
ASU is led by All-Arounders Ashley Ellsberry, Maggie Germaine, and Ashley Kelly who helped the Sun Devils to a third place finish at last weekend's Pac-10 Championships.
