Ball State University will send three gymnasts plus an alternate to the NCAA Central Regionals, as announced by the NCAA today.
Sophomore Brittney Emmons (all-around), senior Bibiana Rodriguez (uneven bars) and freshman Tiffany Brodbeck (floor exercise) will represent the Cardinals in the April 10 meet. Junior Katelyn Busacker will be the alternate to Rodriguez on the bars.
The Mid-American Conference will send two teams and 12 individuals to the postseason. Kent State University will go to the Southeast Regional in Morgantown, W.V., and Central Michigan University will be at the Central Regional in Lexington, Ky., with the individual MAC qualifiers.
On the individual level, Ball State has the most gymnasts from the MAC. Bowling Green State University and Eastern Michigan University will send three each and Western Michigan University will send two. Northern Illinois University will also have two representatives at a different site.
This is the second-straight year for Ball State to send gymnasts to regionals. Before 2009, no Cardinals had qualified for the postseason competition since 2003.
