Senior to Compete as Individual Beam Specialist
PITTSBURGH – Senior Brittany West will represent the University of Pittsburgh gymnastics team as an individual specialist on balance beam at the 2019 National Collegiate Gymnastics Championships.
"We are excited for Brittany [West] to represent Pitt at the regional," Pitt head coach Samantha Snider said. "She is an outstanding beam worker and we look forward to her showcasing her talent on a national stage."
Selected as one of the top 16 event specialists based on national qualifying scores (NQS), West was placed at the Athens, Ga., regional site and will compete Friday, April 5, at 7 p.m. inside Stegeman Coliseum.
West will compete at the National Collegiate Gymnastics Championships for the first time in her career, after having to sit out the Panthers' appearance at the meet in 2018 due to injury.
A Clermont, Fla., native, West holds a team-best NQS on beam of 9.845. She earned season-best scores of 9.875 twice, and earned two individual titles during the 2019 regular season. West was named to the All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) First Team for beam for the first time her career prior to the Saturday's EAGL Championship meet.
WHAT'S ON THE LINE
The top event specialist at each regional site who is not part of an advancing team or all-around competitor will advance to the national championships in that event only. The national championships will take place April 19-20 in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena.
