2025 NCAA Penn State Regional.Magnelli qualified as the regional’s representative on the balance beam, while Brose is set to make her NCAA Championships debut on the floor exercise.

IES earned their positions at the National Championships by finishing as the top individual on non-advancing teams using scores from the regional semifinals. IES have the ability to compete for and win individual national championships in their events, with scores from the national semifinals determining final individual standings at the conclusion of Thursday’s competition.

Magnelli has qualified for her third consecutive NCAA Nationals, including a second-straight season as an IES on the balance beam. Magnelli earned her first career regional title last weekend, scoring her 12th career 9.950 on the apparatus to finish in a three-way tie for first with LSU’s Aleah Finnegan and Maryland’s Maddie Komoroski. With Finnegan advancing via her team, Magnelli edged out Komoroski for the Pennsylvania Regional slot due to her higher NQS (the final tiebreaker), as both athletes earned the same 9.95 score from all four judges.

Creslyn Brose was the outright floor champion of the 2025 NCAA Pennsylvania Regional with 9.950 score in the Semifinals, securing her bid to her first career nationals.
