About the event

The last six National Collegiate Athletic Association national team champions* – Oklahoma (2022, 2019, 2016-17, 2014), Michigan (2021) and UCLA (2018, 2010, 2003-04, 2000-01, 1997) – are in the field. Oklahoma won the 2022 NCAA team crown, with Auburn finishing fourth in the 2022 team final. Additionally, Fisk University is the first Historically Black College or University to have a women’s collegiate gymnastics team.

At the 2020 Olympic Games, Auburn's Suni Lee won the all-around gold medal, Oregon State's Jade Carey won the floor exercise gold, and UCLA's Jordan Chiles and Lee brought home team silver medals. All three are expected to compete for their respective universities at the Super 16 presented by Ozone and have indicated interest in pursuing a berth to the 2024 Olympics. Recently, Carey and Chiles helped the U.S. women to their sixth consecutive World team title. Carey and Chiles also claimed the vault gold and silver medals, respectively, with Chiles and Carey snaring the floor exercise silver and bronze, respectively. Additionally, Lee was the 2022 NCAA balance beam champion and all-around silver-medalist, and Carey won the NCAA uneven bars silver.

Ozone is the Super 16’s presenting sponsor, and Las Vegas Conventions and Visitors Authority is an event partner.
