RESULTS WEB PAGE
Six schools have qualified for the team competition, which will be held Friday evening beginning at 6 p.m. Three of the schools – Ursinus College (Pa.), SUNY Brockport and host SUNY Cortland – qualified with top-three finishes at the ECAC Division III Championships. The other three schools – the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Winona State University (Minn.) – qualified via the NCGA West Regional Championships.
Gymnasts from those six schools will also compete with individual qualifiers from eight other schools for titles in four events – vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam and floor exercise – as well as in the all-around (combination of all four events). The all-around title will be determined on Friday. The individual event championships will be conducted on Saturday at 3 p.m., with the top 14 scorers from Friday’s competition advancing to the finals.
Tickets for the championships are $8 per day or $15 for a two-day pass for adults, $4 per day or $6 for a two-day pass for senior citizens and students with ID, and $2 per day for SUNY Cortland students with ID. Children under 5 will be admitted free of charge.
