Senior Gymnast Competes as Individual Beam Specialist

ATHENS, GA. – Making her first appearance at the National Collegiate Gymnastics Championship, senior Brittany West represented the University of Pittsburgh as a balance beam specialist in regional action Friday night at Stegeman Coliseum.

Competing in the first rotation alongside California, West completed her collegiate gymnastics career by earning a 9.750.

West entered the meet as one of the nation's top 16 event specialists based on national qualifying scores (NQS). She competed at the regional meet for the first time in her career, after having to sit out the Panthers' team appearance at the meet in 2018 due to injury.

A Clermont, Fla., native, West earned season-best scores of 9.875 twice, and received 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 EAGL Championship meet.

PITT AT THE NCAA REGIONAL

The Panthers were represented at the NCAA Regional for the 15th consecutive year, and for the 24th time in the last 25 seasons (missing only the 2004 season).
West was the first individual qualifier for Pitt since Taylor Laymon (bars) and Tracey Pearson (vault) competed at the 2017 NCAA Regional in Morgantown, W.Va.
West is the first to qualify on beam since Lindsay Offutt competed in the all-around in 2016, eventually reaching the NCAA National Championship.
