INDIANAPOLIS — Sacramento State fifth-year senior Amber Koeth was selected to compete at the UCLA Regional as a beam specialist, it was announced today by the NCAA. Koeth will perform in the second round of the regional on Thursday, Mar. 30, where she will rotate with Stanford.

The Henderson, Nev., native will be making her second second consecutive postseason appearance on beam. She finished the regular season with an NQS of 9.885 which tied her for 73rd nationally. During the season, Koeth had four scores of 9.9 or better, including a 9.925 against San Jose State and a school-record tying 9.950 in her home finale against SJSU, Southern Utah and UC Davis.

The top 36 teams based on the national qualifying score were selected for regional competition. The committee named the top 16 teams and seeded them in the bracket. Seeding determined at the time of selections will be maintained through the championship. Teams 17-36 were placed geographically at one of the four regional sites. Nine teams will compete at each of the four regional sites.

The committee also selected the top 12 all-around competitors and top 16 event specialists based on NQS and placed them geographically into one of the four regional sites, keeping individuals from the same team together. The list of all-arounders and individual event specialists included individual-qualifying scores from the teams competing in the first round to ensure those individuals will compete in the individual competition if their team does not advance from the first round.

In the event of a tie for the last berth into regional competition and for seeding purposes, the team, all-around competitor or individual event specialist with the highest score, not including the six used to calculate the NQS, qualified. If a tie still existed, the process was continued until the tie was broken.

The top two teams from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships.

Event specialist qualifiers will only compete in the events they qualified.
