The National Gymnastics Committee selected the Iowa men’s gymnastics team as one of 12 programs to participate in the Collegiate Men’s Gymnastics National Qualifier on April 15 at the Holleder Center in West Point, N.Y.

The No. 11 Hawkeyes will compete against Nebraska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Michigan, and California in the evening session at 6 p.m.

The six teams in the morning qualifier include three Big Ten schools — Illinois, Ohio State, and Penn State — as well as Stanford, Illinois-Chicago, and Temple.

After the first qualifying round, the top three teams from the two sessions will advance to the next round. The top three gymnasts in the all-around and the top three individuals in each event on teams that did not already qualify will advance from each pre-qualifying session to the finals.

The final competitions will take place at the U.S. Military Academy on April 16-17.
