The season’s first big meet — this weekend’s four-session, Mean Girls–themed Super 16 — is officially in the (burn) books, and it served dominance…and disappointment.

You don’t have to wait until this summer’s Paris Olympics to catch world-class gymnastics — the collegiate women’s season hits the mat this weekend.

Gymnastics is one of the few college sports where the gals are granted more of the spotlight — and that may be due to the achingly few NCAA men’s teams: There are just 15 NCAA men’s gymnastics teams (12 DI and three DIII) in existence today.

Collegiate gymnastics won’t start, ahem, meet-ing until January, but NCAAers also competing at the sport’s elite level are gearing up for a big year as the clock ticks closer to next summer’s Paris Olympics.

About 3,500 (!!!) women across 83 Division I, II, and III gymnastics programs will compete this winter for both individual glory and the single cross-division team natty.

Saturday put both the women’s and men’s gymnastics seasons in the book, with trophies hoisted by the sports’ dynasties: the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooner gals and the No. 1 Stanford Cardinal fellas.

This season flew by faster than you can say “stick it,” and with last night’s semis officially in the books, the individual trophies have been hoisted and the national final is about to take the mat at 4 p.m. ET tomorrow.

he fellas will compete in six events, with the top three teams from each semi advancing to tomorrow’s six-squad final to try and hoist the season’s ultimate hardware.

The semifinals of the women’s gymnastics national tourney start tomorrow, and eight teams are ready to show out for one of four spots in Saturday’s national championship final.
