NORMAN, Okla. – The No. 8 Alabama gymnastics team finished in fourth place at the NCAA Regional finals in the Lloyd Noble Center on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, scoring a 197.650.

The top-seeded Oklahoma Sooners won the regional with a 198.050, followed by No. 9 Kentucky at 197.850. No. 15 Ohio State finished third with a program record team total of 197.750.

Alabama increased its rotation score in every event throughout the night, starting with a 49.275 on the vault in the opening rotation, .300 out of second place. The Tide responded with a 49.400 on the uneven bars to narrow the gap to .175 behind second-place Ohio State. Luisa Blanco and Lilly Hudson closed out Alabama's balance beam rotation with back-to-back 9.925s, leading UA to a 49.425 on the event. The Tide closed out the night with a 49.550 on floor exercise to finish just .100 behind Ohio State and .200 behind the Wildcats.

Luisa Blanco will represent Alabama as an individual on the uneven bars at the NCAA Championships after scoring a 9.975 in Thursday's regional semifinal.

Head Coach Ashley Johnston said​

"Tonight is hard. It was an overall great competition between four really competitive teams and we just left too many tenths out there. Even though tonight didn't go the way we wanted it to, I'm proud of the way we continued to fight and get better on every single event as we progressed through the competition. It's times like this where we come together and remind each other that we're a family and that we're going to stick together through the highs and lows. It's important to be able to turn the page and trust that the best is still yet to come for Alabama gymnastics."
