Auburn: Georgia, Oregon State Advance

Georgia posted a 197.1 to win the Auburn Regional.  Oregon State (196.45) used a strong final beam routine from Leslie Mak (she won the event) to pass Michigan (196.325) for the 2nd ticket to Nationals.  Host Auburn was close behind at 196.1, just ahead of WVU at 195.9.  MSU was 6th at 194.05.

UGA was led by Kat Ding, who won the AA with a 39.5.  Ding also tied for the bars title with teammate Gina Nuccio and Oregon State's Olivia Vivian and Leslie Mak.  Teammate Noel Couch took the floor.

Three athletes punched their tickets to Nationals on Vault with a win:  AU's Kylie Shields and Michigan's Katie Zurales and Joanna Sampson.  Zurales will go to Nationals, however, as an All-Arounder, along with Auburn's Brianna Guy.
