The top women's gymnasts nationally in Division III will compete for team and individual titles when SUNY Cortland hosts the 2026 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) Championship on Friday, March 20, at 2 p.m. at Whitney T. Corey Gymnasium.
 
Six schools will qualify for the team competition, based on results from the NCGA East Regional March 7 at Rhode Island College and the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Championship March 7 at Winona State University (Minn.). The top two teams at each meet qualify for nationals, along with the next two teams, regardless of region, based on Seasonal Average Score (SAS) as indicated on the Road to Nationals website (roadtonationals.com).
 
In addition, individuals not on qualifying teams will be chosen to compete at nationals based on regional results and SAS.
 
Tickets for the championships are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for youth and college students (plus a $1 service fee) and can be ordered online at:
