Huang, a First Team All-Big Ten and All-Championship Team honoree, qualified for her third NCAA Regional. The senior first punched her ticket as an all-arounder in 2018 and on floor in 2019. At the Big Ten Championships, Huang placed third on beam and fourth in all-around, recording a 9.9 on beam and a career-high 39.350 in the all-around. The Gaithersburg, Maryland, native finished first on floor and beam in RU's Session I win at the Championships, while finishing second in all-around in the session and being named to the All-Championship team.
The American Athletic, Inc. (AAI) Award Nominee has competed in all 10 meets for the Scarlet Knights this season, reaching top results of 39.350 in the all-around, 9.900 on beam, and career highs of 9.925 on floor and 9.875 on vault. Huang is the team leader on floor with a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 9.881, having reached her career best of 9.925 again this year which is top 10 individual score in program history.
Joyner punched her ticket to the NCAAs for the first time in her young career. The sophomore owns career highs of 39.450 in all-around, 9.9 on vault, 9.9 on bars, 9.950 on beam and 9.9 on floor. The two-time First Team All-Big Ten selection placed third on beam and in the all-around at the Big Ten Championships. The All-Championship team selection scored 9.9 on beam and 39.375 in all-around to top all competitors in Session I of the Championships, helping push RU to its highest finish ever and post a program-record team score at the meet.
The Waldorf, Maryland, native has competed in nine meets for the Scarlet Knights this year, posting team-leading NQS marks on vault, bars, beam and in the all-around. The sophomore recorded the school record on beam with a 9.950, having reached 9.9 in the event four times this year and 12 times in her career. With new career-high 9.900s on floor and vault this year, Joyner became the first gymnast in RU history to eclipse 9.9 on all four events. She is the program leader with 15 total 9.9s in her career.
The top two teams and the top two all-around competitors (who are not on an advancing team) from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships.
