The 2024 Pac-12 Championships will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, March 23 and be televised nationally on Pac-12 Networks.
The NCAA Regional Championships will run Wednesday, April 3 through Sunday, April 7 at four locations -- Ann Arbor, Michigan; Berkeley, California; Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Gainesville, Florida.
The NCAA National Championships will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas from Wednesday, April 17 to Sunday, April 21.
INDIVIDUAL IMPACTS
Killough-Wilhelm was Washington's only all-around competitor during her junior campaign in 2023 – when she tied her career-high all-around score of 39.550.
Russon was a consistent bars competitor last season, notching a 9.8 or higher in 10 different appearances.
Washington also will feature an array of returners who made significant impacts on the team's success last season.
Juniors Deiah Moody and Lana Navarro look to build on their sophomore year success.
Moody, who appeared in all but one lineup on both bars and beam, notched a career-high 9.9 on beam against Arizona. Navarro, who competed in every vault, beam and floor lineup in 2023, also boasts a 9.9 beam career-high and a 9.9 on floor – the latter of which she achieved twice last year.
Sophomores Emily Innes, Thu Nguyen, Olivia Oppegard and Lilly Tubbs all made their way into lineups during their rookie season.
Innes stayed active in the vault and floor lineups, setting a career-high 9.850 on vault and a 9.925 on floor.
Along with Innes, Nguyen was a floor performer in all but two lineups, earning a career-high 9.9.
Oppegard and Tubbs made their impact on the uneven bars, with Oppegard earning a high of 9.875 and Tubbs a 9.950 – the highest bars score by a GymDawg that season.
BUILDING ON 2023 SUCCESS
2023 marked the first time the GymDawgs made their way to the NCAA Regional Finals since the 2018 season. Washington was the only unseeded team in collegiate gymnastics to earn a spot at the regional finals, ousting No. 12 Auburn and Southern Utah in the second round of regionals action.
Washington lost a handful of routines with the 2023 graduating class – this year competing without Morgan Bowles, Brenna Brooks, Amara Cunningham, Kennedi Davis, Hadley Roberts and Isa Weiss.
Brooks joined the Huskies' coaching staff at the beginning of this season after rounding out her accomplished five-year resume in a Washington leotard.
POWER OF THE PAC
The Pac-12 displayed its gymnastics dominance last season, with six Pac-12 teams advancing to Regional Finals – the most of any conference (Arizona State, Cal, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah and Washington).
