March 29, 2006 - The 2006 National Collegiate Men’s Gymnastics Championships selections have been announced by the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Committee. The Golden Gophers have earned a bid to the 2006 national championship as the No. 10 seed. Minnesota has competed at the NCAA Championship in every season since 1975.

The national qualifier, which consists of two pre-qualifying sessions, will be conducted April 6 at the Lloyd Noble Center on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. Minnesota will compete in the first round on Thursday at 1 p.m. Other teams in the same session include No. 2 Stanford, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 6 Penn State, No. 7 Iowa, and No. 11 William & Mary.

Three teams and the top three all-around competitors not on one of the qualifying teams, plus the top three individuals on each event not already qualified on a team or as an all- around competitor, will advance from each pre-qualifying session to the finals session.

Final competitions will take place April 7-8, also at the University of Oklahoma.
