UCLA senior Tasha Schwikert won her second NCAA all-around title (she also won as a freshman in 2005) at today's NCAA prelims. Utah senior Ashley Postell placed second, her third straight year as the NCAA all-around runner-up.

The six teams qualifying into tomorrow's team finals are the top three from each preliminary session:
    Session 1:
    1. Florida 196.90
    2. Alabama 196.650
    3. LSU 196.575
    Session 2:
    1. University of Georgia 197.625
    2. University of Utah 196.950
    3. Stanford University 196.900

Though I still believe Georgia will win, it could be a very close competition. I think the team that sticks the most landings could very well win it all.
