The 2025 NCAA Championships will feature several gymnasts competing in the tournament, despite their teams not qualifying for the event. Following the four NCAA Regional Finals that concluded recently, eight teams: Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, Utah, UCLA, LSU, and Michigan State have qualified for the team competition.

Besides these teams, some gymnasts will participate in the individual events of the tournament even though their teams are not among the eight teams specified above. Jade Carey, an Oregon State gymnast, will be competing in the all-around event during the Championships after her impressive performance in the regional championships, where she had an AA score of 39.850.

However, Carey's all-around performance (39.700) in the finals of the event didn't end up on a winning note as her team finished fourth after posting a score of 196.875, behind Florida (197.700), California (197.575), and Alabama (197.675).

Joscelyn Roberson, who competes for the Arkansas Razorbacks, will also feature in the all-around event after posting an all-around score of 39.600 in the Pennsylvania regionals.
