Razorback records in NCAA Championship

FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas' gymnastics team, seeded eighth of 12 teams at this week's NCAA Championship in Duluth, Ga., is coming off a record performance in the NCAA Regional in Fayetteville.

The Razorbacks, in finishing second in the regional on April 7 and advancing to the NCAA semifinals for the fifth straight year, set a school record for a regional by scoring a 196.825.

Arkansas competes in Friday's Session II semifinal at 5 p.m. in the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. The Razorbacks face Florida, Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama and Oregon State. The Session I semifinal includes UCLA, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Stanford and Utah. The top three teams from each session advance to Saturday's Super Six. The individual event finals are on Sunday.

Senior All-American Jaime Pisani, the Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Year, set a school regional record in Barnhill Arena with a 39.625 in the all-around and a 9.925 on beam to win both events. She also tied the school regional record with a 9.90 on vault.

Arkansas has advanced to the NCAA Championship six times in its 10 years with all six trips coming in the last seven seasons.

The Razorbacks finished 12th in the nation in 2006, 10th in 2008, fifth in 2009, 11th in 2010 and tied for ninth in 2011.
