The NC State gymnastics team continued its strong start to its 2023 campaign on Saturday claiming a tri-meet win over Western Michigan and rival North Carolina with a final score of 196.275.

The evening was highlighted by four first-place event finishes including Emily Shepard's all-around mark of 39.375, while the Pack's floor tally of 49.275 marked the highest total in the event for NC State this season. The Wolfpack captured the highest score of the evening on three of four events.

Vault (49.000)
The Wolfpack opened the contest on vault with a score of 49.000 and were led by a pair of 9.850 marks from Shepard and Chloe Negrete. Alexis Ortega registered a season high in the event at 9.825, while Lauren Rutherford and Gabrielle Diaz rounded out NC State's scoring effort in the event with a 9.750 and 9.725, respectively.

Bars (48.950)
Rutherford and Shepard led the way for the Pack on bars with Rutherford tying her season-high at 9.850 and Shepard matching her total as the final two to compete in the event. The two were preceded by Ortega who registered a 9.825, while freshman Sofia Obregon's career debut resulted in a 9.725. Fellow freshman Kailee Adomaites recorded the Pack's final counting score with a 9.700

Beam (49.050)
For the fifth time in as many meets, Negrete was NC State's leader on beam with a score of 9.875. She was followed by Krista Zultevicz at 9.825 while Diaz and Shepard posted a pair of 9.800 marks, with Diaz's resulting in a season high. A 9.750 from Ortega completed the scoring effort, sending the Pack to floor with a three-event total of 147.000.

Floor (49.275)
Negrete was once again the Wolfpack's leader on floor, matching her season-high total of 9.925 which she originally hit on Jan. 14. A strong finish for the Pack saw back-to-back scores of 9.875 from Shepard and Rutherford, while a season-high score in the leadoff position from Diaz got the Wolfpack started with a 9.850. A 9.750 from Zultevicz rounded out the event, registering a new floor season-high team score for NC State.

Next Up

https://gopack.com/news/2023/2/4/womens-gymnastics-gymnastics-nabs-tri-meet-victory-with-196-275.aspx

No. 23 NC State gymnastics statistically does better when taking on multiple teams as all four of its wins this season have come from tri-meets, and this time was no different. The Wolfpack posted a final score of 196.275, outpacing its season average 196.190.
The 196.275 was enough to best North Carolina's 195.975 and Western Michigan's 195.525. NC State (4-3) also redeemed itself against the Tar Heels (6-3) after losing the first matchup of the 2023 season between the two teams and took its second victory in four years in a rare meeting against the Broncos (2-3).
The Wolfpack began its night on the vault and wound up scoring a meet-best 49.000, headlined by seniors Chloe Negrete, Emily Shepard and Alexis Ortega. Negrete and Shepard both recorded scores of 9.850, and not far behind was Ortega's 9.825.

The Pack went to the uneven bars for its second rotation, an event that has been somewhat of an Achilles' heel for the red-and-white. Tonight was no different with the Pack scoring a 48.950, which was in the middle of UNC's 49.225 and Western Michigan's 48.800.
A 48.950 is by no means a low score, but the standard for greatness is high amongst the Wolfpack gymnasts. Shepard and sophomore Lauren Rutherford both scored a 9.850 to tie for the fourth-best score amongst all competitors.

NC State switched to the beam for its third event, ending with a 49.050 and four of the top five individual scores for the event. The beam has been Negrete's bread and butter all season she paced the team for the fifth time in as many meets with a 9.875. Junior Krista Zultevicz has been a source of consistency on the beam, scoring her second 9.825 in a row.
The Wolfpack likes to close out its home meets with the floor exercise, which has been one of the strongest events for NC State all season mostly due to Negrete's consistently strong performances. Negrete tied her season-high score of 9.925, contributing to a meet-high total of 49.275. Shepard and Rutherford were also key contributors on the floor. Both women scored a 9.875, a huge improvement for Rutherford after scoring an 8.675 against Auburn.
Shepard participated in all four events to boast a meet-best 39.375 on a night where the Wolfpack dominated. This is likely the sweetest victory of the season thus far NC State needed these wins to remain a ranked team after slipping a few spots due last week's loss. As an added bonus, the Pack was able to exact revenge against the rival Tar Heels from the season-opener.
NC State will travel to Maryland for its first quad-meet of the season, hosted by Towson. In addition to Towson, NC State will also compete against Pitt and Temple on Friday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m

https://gopack.com/news/2023/2/10/womens-gymnastics-gymnastics-fires-194-775-at-eagl-quad-meet.aspx

No. 23 Wolfpack gymnastics had a tough outing on Friday night in Maryland in its first quad-meet of the season falling to Pitt, Temple and Towson.

The Wolfpack (4-6) accumulated three losses in one night with a season low score of 194.775 after a disastrous opening rotation. Towson (11-2) finished with a meet high 196.425, followed by a 195.300 from Temple (11-13) and a 195.275 from Pitt (9-9).

NC State was the favorite going into the meet, but all momentum was lost after the Pack had three separate gymnasts fall off of the uneven bars during their respective routines to start the night. NC State finished with a season-low 47.450 for the event, which was a deflating start for the team. Despite the poor performance, all gymnasts appeared to come away unscathed after some scary falls.

The Wolfpack continued its night on beam, recording a 48.850 the second lowest score from the second rotation. Outside of seniors Chloe Negrete and Alexis Ortega, the red-and-white didn't have any standout performances up to this point. Negrete scored a 9.850 and not far behind was Ortega with a 9.800 to pace the Pack.

NC State was dead-last halfway through the competition, tallying a total score of 96.300 with the floor routine and vault left on the schedule. The Wolfpack continued to do well with the floor exercise just as it has all season Negrete, a superstar for NC State, scored a 9.925 leading all gymnasts who competed. Sophomore Lauren Rutherford had a 9.900, the second highest score of the event, followed by Shepard and junior Krista Zultevicz both scoring a 9.875 to tie for third-best.

NC State wasn't able to complete the comeback closing out the night on vault with a 49.100. Shepard tied Towson gymnast Polina Belanovski for a meet-best score of 9.900, but outside of Negrete's 9.875 there wasn't much else to push the Pack past any of its opponents. The big three of Shepard, Negrete and Ortega gave it their best, with Shepard and Ortega being the only NC State gymnasts to compete in all four events and two-thirds of all gymnasts to qualify for an all-around score.

NC State had several outstanding individual performances that were overshadowed by a series of unfortunate events in the first half of the meet, and will look to rest and regroup after its worst statistical performance of the year thus far.

The red-and-white will return to Reynolds Coliseum Friday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. to face New Hampshire before taking a trip to Philadelphia to find redemption in another quad-meet.

The NC State gymnastics team returns to Reynolds Coliseum on Friday, Feb. 17, as the Wolfpack will host New Hampshire in an EAGL dual meet.

The Wolfpack enter Friday's contest having most recently competed in an EAGL quad meet at Towson in addition to fellow competitors Pitt and Temple, registering a 194.775 that was highlighted by a season-high team score on floor at 49.375.

The NC State gymnastics team moved back into the win column on Friday evening as the Wolfpack knocked off EAGL for New Hampshire 196.150-195.650 in its penultimate dual meet of the regular season.

NC State additionally swept the first-place honors in all four events, with Emily Shepard taking champion honors in vault, bars, and floor, while Chloe Negrete shared the beam crown in a tie for first.

New Hampshire's Alyssa Beaulieu was awarded all-around champion with a score of 39.150, finishing just ahead of Alexis Ortega's 39.125.

Vault (48.900)
NC State began its evening on vault where Shepard led the way for the Wolfpack with a score of 9.850. Negrete additionally posted a mark of 9.825 while the Pack's scoring effort was rounded out by a 9.725 from Krista Zultevicz and a pair of 9.750 scores from Gabrielle Diaz and Lauren Rutherford.

Bars (49.200)
NC State set a new season-high mark on bars during its second rotation with a 49.200. The previous season high came during the Wolfpack's Jan. 21 tri-meet against George Washington and Pitt, with Friday's score highlighted by Shepard matching her career high in the event at 9.900. Shepard's score additionally served as NC State's first score of 9.900+ on bars in its 2023 campaign. The event both started and ended strong for the Wolfpack, with freshman Kailee Adomaites leading off with a 9.800, and Lauren Rutherford anchoring with a 9.850. Like Shepard, Ortega also matched her career-best score with a 9.875, while a 9.775 from Peyton Childs was the Pack's final counting score.

Beam (48.650)
Negrete continued her streak of leading the way for the Pack on beam, as the senior has either posted NC State's highest score in the event in every meet this season either as the solo leader or trying for first amongst members of the Wolfpack. Ortega and Zultevicz each tallied 9.800+ marks as the duo registered a 9.825 and 9.800, respectively. Beam specialist Macy Jennings posted a 9.600, while Diaz led the Pack's third roation off with a 9.575.

Floor (49.400)

All six of the Wolfpack's gymnasts competing in the event fired scores of 9.800+, with Diaz leading off at 9.850 and Negrete anchoring with a 9.900, her fifth score of 9.900+ over the course of the 2023 season. Shepard was the Wolfpack's leader as she matched career-best mark of 9.925, while Zultevicz did the same at 9.875. The scoring effort was completed by a 9.850 from Rutherford while NC State's non-counted score was a 9.800 from Ortega.

Next Up
A quick turnaround looms for NC State, as the Pack will be back in action on Sunday, Feb. 19 for a quad meet at Temple with George Washington and Penn. Sunday's contest will be streamed on ESPN+ and is slated to begin at 6 p.m.

https://gopack.com/news/2023/2/17/womens-gymnastics-pack-posts-196-150-on-mental-health-awareness-night.aspx

In its second to last home meet of the season, NC State gymnastics defeated New Hampshire 196.150-195.650. Seniors Chloe Negrete and Emily Shepard put forth the best scores of the night to lead an all-around solid outing by the Pack.
NC State (5-6) fought hard to maintain a lead over New Hampshire (9-6) through all four rotations, finally pulling away during the floor routine by posting a 49.400 team score the highest overall rotational score on the night. The Pack wavered slightly on beam and vault, but New Hampshire was unable to take advantage of those opportunities.
This meet also held some extra importance due to it being NC State's first Mental Health Awareness Meet. Each gymnast dawned a special t-shirt to spread the message of the importance of mental health.

"Even if you help just one person, I feel like you can make a difference," Shepard said. "Being a student athlete, putting your mental health first to me looks like being a person before being a student or an athlete."
The red-and-white started its night on vault, led by Shepard's 9.850 and Negrete's 9.825 the top two scores for the event. The red-and-white failed to reach the 49.000 mark here, but the 48.900 was still better than the 48.775 from New Hampshire.
The Wolfpack continued onto the uneven bars, an event that went disastrously for NC State gymnastics in last week's quad-meet. The Pack recovered in this week's outing, putting up a 49.200 thanks to a near-perfect 9.900 score from Shepard to continue to outpace the Wildcats through two rotations.

"Sometimes things don't go to plan," Negrete said. "But, that allows us to go back in the gym and fix those [things] and learn to adapt to them in the future so it doesn't happen again."
With a mere 0.525 gap between both squads halfway through the meet, first place was still very much up for grabs. New Hampshire executed well on its floor routine while NC State had its worst rotational score of the night on beam. The Wolfpack totaled 48.650 on its third rotation while New Hampshire scored 49.100, narrowing the red-and-white's lead to 0.075 with just the floor routine left to complete.
The red-and-white crushed the floor exercise, with each individual gymnast putting forth an almost-flawless routine. The lowest individual score for NC State was 9.800 and the highest was 9.925 from Shepard to contribute to a season-high 49.400.
"Our team chemistry has never been this good," Shepard said. "Everyone's willing to put in the work and grow with each other."
The strong finish resulted in the 196.150-195.650 victory for NC State, a statement win after struggling a week ago. Although this wasn't the biggest matchup on the calendar for the red-and-white, it's definitely a much-needed boost to morale as the Pack turns its attention to another quad-meet on the road.
The Pack will meet Temple, George Washington and Penn on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 6 p.m. in Philadelphia, and will stay on the road for an additional tri-meet before returning to Raleigh for its final home meet on Saturday, March. 4.

The NC State gymnastics team posted a season-high road score on Sunday evening with a 196.475 in a quad meet at Temple with George Washington and Penn.

The Wolfpack were awarded meet champion honors, with George Washington finishing in second place at 196.075 followed by Temple at 195.450 and Penn at 195.125. The Pack's night was highlighted by a season-high score of 49.400 on beam, which ranks as the fifth-highest score in the event in program history.

NC State saw Emily Shepard and Alexis Ortega tie for the individual all-around crown at 39.375, with Ortega additionally tying for first place on bars with a career-high 9.900.

Bars (48.975)
The Pack began the contest on bars where Ortega's 9.900 was aided by a 9.800 from Shepard. Lauren Rutherford anchored the event with a 9.775, while a pair of 9.750 marks from freshmen Kailee Adomaites and Sofia Obregon rounded out NC State's scoring effort.

Beam (49.400)
NC State's best rotation of the night came on beam, where Ortega's second score of 9.900 resulted in a second-place team finish while Chloe Negrete fired a 9.925. Negrete finished the event in third place, with her and Ortega each registering new season highs and matched their previous career highs. The Pack only counted scores of 9.850+ on the beam, as Krista Zultevicz finished with a 9.875 and Shepard matched Gabrielle Diaz at 9.850.

Floor (49.150)
Another strong rotation from the Wolfpack was led by a pair of 9.875 marks from Shepard and Negrete. Shepard and Negrete, both seniors, have been pillars of NC State's lineup on the floor throughout their careers and the 2023 campaign, as Shepard has posted scores of 9.875+ on floor in six of the Wolfpack's eight meets, while Negrete has done so in seven competitions this season. Rutherford posted a 9.825 in the event, while a 9.800 from Diaz and a 9.775 for Ortega completed the counting scores for NC State.

Vault (48.950)
The Wolfpack's night ended on vault, with Negrete anchoring at 9.875 which was NC State's highest score in the event. Negrete's routine succeeded Shepard's score of 9.850, while a pair of 9.800 marks from Rutherford and Ortega complimented Diaz's leadoff score of 9.625.
