By Elizabeth Grimsley and Christina Marmet It’s time for another round of NCAA Gym News Power Rankings. This week we’ll be coming up with our top 14 teams and assigning them each a secondary Harry Potter character we think best fits its season up to this point. But we don’t expect you to agree with our opinions 100 percent. Let us know your thoughts and who you have in your top 10 in the comments or on social media.
If you’re a traditionalist or numbers freak, you can look at the Road to Nationals official rankings here.

By Elizabeth Grimsley After a hard fought competition, Kai Rivers (future LSU gymnast) and Carly Bauman (future Michigan gymnast) claimed senior and junior titles, respectively, at the 2017 Nastia Liukin Cup. Overall, Michigan recruits had a strong showing with two finishers in the top five on the senior side to go along with Bauman's junior win.

With a fair few teams debuting new leotards for their senior night celebrations and rivalry meets, we have a lot of new beautiful creations to judge this week from LSU’s stunning number to MSU’s high-neck elegant piece. The criteria is the same as always: up to three points for design; two points for fabric, sparkle, etc.; and two points for school spirit; three points for overall appearance. After assigning points to each category, we’ll tally up the scores and average them with the previous week’s. So by the end of the season, we’ll know for sure which team has the best leotards (according to us) and which teams not so much. We want to know what you thought too (or if we forgot one of your favorites from this weekend)! Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter. And make sure to vote in our poll at the bottom of the page to make your opinion heard in the fan vote, new this season.

With the 2017 Nastia Liukin Cup two days away, it’s time to take a closer look at the qualifiers and where they stand going into Friday’s competition. After seven weeks, we finally have all 36 qualifiers—18 juniors and 18 seniors—that will represent their club gyms, as well as, for some, their future colleges in New Jersey.

Once again there were lots of great leos this week including some stunners from Minnesota, Oklahoma and Ursinus(!). With new debuts, it was hard to pic our favorites. The criteria is the same as last season. But to refresh your memories: up to three points for design; two points for fabric, sparkle, etc.; and two points for school spirit; three points for overall appearance. After assigning points to each category, we’ll tally up the scores and average them with the previous week’s. So by the end of the season, we’ll know for sure which team has the best leotards (according to us) and which teams not so much. We want to know what you thought too (or if we forgot one of your favorites from this weekend)! Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter.
