INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – Following her performance at the NCAA Regional, April 2, sophomore Rachel Slocum (Holly Springs, N.C. – Holly Springs) of the No. 17 Eastern Michigan University gymnastics team qualified to the NCAA Championships, April 15-16, as an individual competitor on floor. Slocum is the second Eagle to ever qualify for the national championship, as the only previous competitor to make it was Robin Loeheide in 1993.
The Holly Springs, N.C. native has been fantastic throughout the season for the Eagles, regularly leading the team on both floor and vault. Specifically on floor, Slocum has come on strong as of late, scoring a pair of career-high 9.9's at both the Mid-American Conference Championships, March 19, as well as the NCAA Regional.
Slocum will take part in the second session of the NCAA Semifinals, which begins April 15 at 7 p.m. The sophomore will be rotating with UCLA, as well as Brianna Brown of Michigan. Additionally, Slocum is the only MAC competitor to qualify for the NCAA Championship.
