ANN ARBOR, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - Three gymnasts represented Eastern Michigan University as individuals in the 2024 NCAA Michigan Regionals hosted by the University of Michigan, Wednesday, April 3-Saturday, April 6 inside the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.
With all three qualifying Eagles competing in the first session of the second round, April 4, Alana Fisher (Athens, Ala. Alabama Connections Academy) appeared on the vault during the second rotation, Ella Chemotti (Canton, Mich./Canton) competed on the balance beam during the third and Raisa Boris (Brooklyn Park, Minn./Park Center) saw action on all four events as EMU's sole qualifying all-arounder.
How It Happened
Boris started the day for the Eagles on the bars with an individual score of 9.700 in the first rotation.
The senior balanced the beam in the next rotation, earning a 9.850, while Fisher performed on the vault, collecting a 9.775 on the apparatus during the second rotation. Boris' 9.850 on the beam earned the highest placing among the Eagles, tying for seventh place in the event.
The third rotation saw Boris take the floor with her performance earning a 9.825 score.
During the fourth rotation, Boris took to the vault, while Chemotti performed on the balance beam. Boris delivered a 9.775, while Chemotti posted a 9.825 in her event.
Overall, Boris posted a 39.150 all-around score with her 9.850 on the beam marking the senior's highest individual score of the day.
Historical Notes
» With her performance on beam, Chemotti competed on the apparatus for the third consecutive NCAA Regionals after scoring a 9.900 at both the 2023 Pittsburgh Regional her sophomore season and at the 2022 Normal Regional as a rookie. She was the first EMU freshman to compete individually at NCAA Regionals since former Eagle Kaylyn Millick qualified in the all-around in 2010.
» Marking just the third EMU gymnast to qualify for three consecutive NCAA Regionals in program history, Chemotti is the first Eagle to compete in three consecutive NCAA Regional Championships since Hall of Famer, Natalie Hashimoto did so in all four of her career seasons (2000-03) as an all-arounder. Before that, Jennifer Culloum participated in the All-Around in three consecutive NCAA Regionals for the first time (1997-99).
» With her first career NCAA Regional all-around qualification, Boris is the first Eagle to compete in the Regional Championships as an all-arounder since Hadyn Crossen did so in the 2021 season.
» Additionally, Fisher's vault performance during the 2024 NCAA Regional Championships was the first individual vault specialist qualifier for EMU since Allie Smith earned the feat in the 2019 campaign.
» Overall, Fisher marks just the fourth individual vault NCAA Regionals qualifier in EMU program history.
Up Next
The top two teams from each regional will receive an automatic berth to the national championships which will take place April 18-20 in Fort Worth, Texas, at Dickies Arena. In addition, the top all-around competitor and top event specialist from round two at each regional (who is not on a team advancing to nationals) will advance to the national championships.
