Lexington Celebrates as University of Kentucky Gymnastics Team Earns No. 9 Seed

Exciting news has come out of Lexington as the University of Kentucky gymnastics team has proudly secured the No. 9 overall seed in the upcoming 2025 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championship. This achievement marks a notable milestone, as it’s the program’s 36th appearance in the NCAA postseason. Gymnastics fans can’t help but feel a surge of pride.

A Perfect Launchpad at Penn State

This year, Kentucky gymnastics has been placed as the No. 3 seed in the University Park Regional, which will be hosted by Penn State from April 2-5, 2025. Thanks to their strong season and remarkable performances, the Cats will enjoy a first-round bye, allowing them to leap straight into action during the semifinals on Thursday, April 3.

Fans can mark their calendars for 1 p.m. ET on that day, when Kentucky will take to the mat in the opening session. They’ll be competing against some formidable opponents, including No. 8 Michigan State, Ohio State, and the host team, Penn State. The level of competition promises to be thrilling, as the excitement builds for the gymnastic showdowns.

Fan Favorites Ready to Shine

The excitement doesn’t stop there. After the Cats compete in the first semifinal, a second semifinal event is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, featuring big names like No. 1 LSU and No. 16 Arkansas. Also in the mix will be Michigan and the winner of the first-round contest between Maryland and West Virginia. This format ensures that the best of the best will be showcased, leading up to the much-anticipated regional finals.

On Saturday, April 5 at 5 p.m. ET, only the top two teams from each semifinal will advance to the regional finals, where they will be vying for their chance to secure a spot at the 2025 NCAA National Championships.

Journey Towards the Nationals

This Championship season is particularly special for Kentucky as they aim to make it to the NCAA National Championships for only the third time in the program’s history. Successful trips were made in 2018 and 2023, both of which left fans with cherished memories. It’s worth noting that the Cats are on a remarkable 20-year streak of consecutive regional appearances, which goes all the way back to 2005.

In addition to advancing as a team, Kentucky gymnasts are also looking to showcase their individual skills, as spots at the nationals will also be contested based on individual event performances and all-around finishes for those teams that do not make it through.

A Tradition of Excellence

Louisville’s proud tradition in gymnastics shines bright, with Kentucky securing a national seed for eight consecutive seasons—setting a program record! The Cats have consistently performed well, holding a top three regional seed in seven of the last eight seasons and landing a spot within the top ten national seeds in five out of the last six tournaments. Since the multi-day regional format was introduced in 2019, Kentucky has made it to the regional final each time, demonstrating their resilience and commitment to excellence.

Stay Tuned for the Action!

As the excitement builds, fans will be pleased to know that every session of the University Park regional will be live-streamed on ESPN+. Be sure to follow along as the Cats go for victory!
