NCAA Gymnastics in on cloud nine right now. Starting from LSU making resounding victories to Chloe Widner upholding the Ivy League Stanford’s legacy.Chloe Widner of Stanford clinched dual victories at the NCAA regional finals, achieving her first career perfect 10.000 in the floor routine and contributing significantly to her team’s success in NCAA Gymnastics Championship.

Chloe Widner’s outstanding performance not only led Stanford to the NCAA championships for the first time since 2016 but also marked them as the first unseeded team to qualify for nationals since the new format was introduced in 2019. However, Chloe Widner and Co ended third in the semi-finals session 1 at the 2024 NCAA Championships. Though a gut-wrenching loss, this doesn’t dent their sheen one bit, as was apparent by Widner’s joy on her X handle.

On X, Chloe Widner shared the score of Stanford advancing to third place, “we went 52nd — > 5th in one season”. She shared her excitement through the X despite her losing. Stanford’s Chloe Widner’s persistence in earning two perfect 10s and leading Stanford’s team overcoming her injuries and achieving monumental success was noteworthy. Chloe won the all-title with a score of 39.700 at the Berkley Regional in the 2024 NCAA Women’s Gymnast Championship on April 5, 2024, adding another feather to her star-studded cap. Stanford’s Women’s Gymnastics 2024 ends with third place, spearheaded by sophomore Anna Roberts’ NCAA Vault Championship title, finishing third. They will not be participating at Saturday’s championship meet but have their place enshrined in 2025 at the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Stanford scored a total of 197.0750, whereas LSU and California scored 198.1125 and 197.7125 respectively, earning first and second place. Stanford’s entry at the semifinals was historic, as they kicked off this session on bars and showed toughness early. The Cardinals fought to a total of 49.2500 in the event, led by scores of 9.8875 by Roberts and lead off junior Anapaula Gutierrez. Senior Ira Alexeeva added a 9.8500, junior Brenna Neault posted a 9.8250, and fifth-year Chloe Widner anchored the rotation with a 9.8000. Stanford’s 2024 season had ended in Fort Worth, alas, but this isn’t their final run. Greener pastures await them. Widner, however, was the showstopper.
