SEATTLE (Mar. 25) -- Alison Siegel-McAfee of Seattle Pacific University has earned an at-large berth as an all-arounder for the NCAA West Regional gymnastics meet Apr. 6 in Corvallis, Ore.

Siegel-McAfee (Sr., Oakland, Ca./Redwood Christian), one of three all-arounders from non-qualifying teams, will participate in the Division I meet for the second year in a row. She was selected for vault as a junior. In addition to Siegel-McAfee, Kristen Strid (Jr., Kingsburg, Ca./Kingsburg Joint Union) is an alternate for balance beam.

Oregon State, the host, is joined in the six-team field by top-seeded Utah, Oklahoma, Southern Utah, Washington and Boise State. The top two teams and the top two all-around competitors (who are not on an advancing team) will receive an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, April 18-20. In addition, the event winners at the regional championships will advance to the national championships (in that event only) if they are not part of a qualifying team or the all-around qualifiers.

At the regional, Siegel-McAfee will rotate with OSU. The other at-large all-arounders are Deni Albright of San Jose State and My-Lan Dodd of California.

The Falcons will return to competition as a team Apr. 11-13 at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships in Springfield, Mass.
