The Stanford women’s gymnastics team scored a 196.3 in the NCAA Team Preliminaries Thursday night to secure a place in the Super Six finals tonight. The Cardinal finished third in its preliminary, beating out fourth-place Michigan for the final spot in the Super Six.
Senior Carly Janiga led Stanford by placing third in the all-around, the best finish for a Cardinal gymnast ever. In total, Janiga earned three first-team All-American honors in the competition.
Fellow senior Blair Ryland set a career-high with a 9.925 on the vault to earn an All-American honor. Both Janiga and Ryland will compete in the Individual Event Finals, which will take place Saturday after the team competition has been settled.
The Super Six finals will take place in Gainesville, Fla. today at 3 p.m. PST.
