Jade Carey recently achieved a major milestone as she qualified for the 2025 Women's NCAA Gymnastics Championships after her impressive performance at the Regional Finals. The championships will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, from April 17-19.

After a terrific showdown at the Regional Finals, eight NCAA women's gymnastics teams have secured their berth to compete at the NCAA Championships. Along with these teams, 20 individual gymnasts who are not members of a qualifying team will also compete in the all-around and other events during the two semifinals.

This includes Oregon State's Carey, who is qualified to compete as the top all-around gymnast in Fort Worth. She earned the top score of 39.700 in the regional all-around competition, which made her way to the National Championships for the fourth consecutive time. The Oregon State Gymnastics account on X celebrated her achievement as they wrote:

"For the fourth time in four years, @jadeacarey has qualified for the NCAA Championships."
