The finals of the 2013 Women's NCAA Championships produced five National Champions:
Vault
On vault, Rheagan Courville of LSU stuck her Layout Yurchenko Full, achieving some of the greatest distance in the meet. She was later tied with Bama's Diandra Milliner, who blasted a Yurchenko 1 1/2. A small hop meant she would have to share the title. UCLA's Olivia Courtney was third.
Bars
Gator Alaina Johnson hit her Ray release and stuck her double layout dismount to edge out teammate Bridget Sloan and Utah's Georgia Dabritz, who shared second. Her 9.9125 was just enough to outdistance the pair.
Beam
AA champ Sloan won a title of her own on BB, covering an off-balance on her flip-flop layout successfully and managing to hold her feet still on the dismount. In second were Michigan's Katie Zurales and Minnesota's Hanna Nordquist. Zurales nailed her aerial back-handspring series while Nordquist showed the even more difficult aerial back layout.
Floor
Michigan's Joanna Sampson hit some of the biggest tumbling of the meet, opening with a tidy double layout and ending with a sky high double pike. Sampson actually shows a complete opening from her double pike, a level of amplitude rarely seen even at the elite level. Bama's Diandra Milliner was second, drilling her double Arabian mount to a perfectly stuck landing. In third was NU's Emily Wong, who opened with a tight and complete triple twist.

Julia Konner, L10 at Apollo in Pa., has committed to Sacremento and will join the team next season. Julie finished in the top 10 AA at her meets this year, including a 4th place finish at her state meet.
Michigan's Sam Mikulak won PB and HB as action wrapped up at the Men's NCAAs. His 16.1 on the pipe was a meet-high. On Floor, Trevor Howard of PSU won with a 15.8. On PH, Ohio State's Michael Newburger was the only finalist above 15 (15.45) to win. Sooner Michael Squires hit for 15.775 to win rings, while on vault, Illini Fred Hartville won with a 15.425.
