The Individual National Champions will be determined on April 16 in conjunction with the team National Semifinals, which take place at 4:30 p.m., and 9 p.m. Clark will compete as part of the early session, which will appear on ESPN+ and ESPN2.
Clark posted a 9.950 in each of her appearances at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional this past week, and has earned a 9.900 or above in all 14 of her floor routines this season.
Clark is the first Clemson Gymnast to qualify for Nationals. Individual selections participate against all members of the final eight teams, as well as one additional qualifier from each region – Clark will represent Baton Rouge.
