CLEMSON — Fresh off its ACC Championship title on Saturday night, the Clemson Gymnastics team has earned the No. 15 overall seed in the NCAA Championship.

The Tigers will open regional competition on April 2 at 8 p.m. ET in the Baton Rouge Regional, with coverage available on ESPN+. This is Clemson’s third appearance in a regional in as many years, and its first national seed. 

Clemson is in its first season under the direction of Co-Head Coaches Justin Howell and Liz Crandall-Howell. 

The regional, hosted by LSU, features a nine-team field:

Regional Semifinal 1 (2 p.m. ET) on April 2

No. 7 Seed – Stanford

No. 10 Seed – Michigan

UNC 

Utah State

Regional Semifinal 2 (8 p.m. ET) on April 2

No. 2 Seed – LSU

No. 15 Seed – Clemson

Auburn

Play-in (April 1): Air Force/Nebraska

Each of the four regionals will be conducted in a two-day format featuring two quad meets in the semifinal round. The top two teams from each semifinal session will advance to the regional final on April 4, where the top two teams from that quad will earn a berth to the NCAA Championship, held April 16-18 in Fort Worth, Texas.

Clemson has competed against nine of the programs that made the NCAA field, including four (Stanford, Michigan, UNC, and Auburn) in its Regional. Clemson enters the postseason following a historic performance at the ACC Championship, capturing the conference title with a 197.100 over No. 7 Stanford and No. 14 Cal on the final routine. 

Clemson is the only program in the nation to qualify for the NCAA Championship in each of its first three seasons.
