Iowa State claimed third place Saturday at the NCAA regional tournament in Baton Rouge, La., falling one spot short of qualifying for the NCAA championships.

The ISU gymnastics team (5-11, 2-2 Big 12) posted a score of 196.350, but fell almost a full point shy of Stanford, which took second place with a score of 197.275. LSU won the regional title with a tally of 198.325.

Junior Caitlin Brown finished fourth in the all-around with a score of 39.400, which is good enough to earn her a spot in the NCAA championships coming up later this month.

Brown also posted the highest point total on vault for the Cyclones with a score of 9.875, which earned her a tie for seventh place.

Seniors Henrietta Green and Michelle Shealy led the way for Iowa State on bars, posting identical numbers of 9.850, which were good enough for a tie for eighth place in the event.

Green and senior Milan Ivory tied for fifth on floor with scores of 9.900, and senior Camille Santerre-Gervais was the top ISU performer on beam, posting a total of 9.900 and placing in a tie for seventh.

The season is done for the Cyclones except for Brown, who will compete in the NCAA championships on Friday, April 18 in Birmingham, Ala.
