The Women's final NQS (National Qualifying Score) rankings, the last before the National meet, have been released by Troester GymInfo. The NQS is composed of the RQS (Regional Qualifying Score) plus the Regional score. However, the top 12 National qualifiers will hold the Top 12 spaces after Nationals, and the remaining nonqualifiers will be ranking in order, pushing Auburn to #13 and elevating current #16 Illinois.
The Florida Gators hold a huge lead on the field in the NQS Rankings, but all of that does not matter once the meet begins.
