After a win against Georgia Friday, Feb. 27, Auburn gymnastics fell two spots in the NCAA Regional Qualifying Score rankings to No. 9.
Auburn’s current RQS of 196.745 is a .135 increase from last week and the highest RQS score in program history.
Though the Tigers set a program record for total points last meet, the highest score is dropped when the RQS is calculated, but the previous high score set against LSU now counts, increasing the Tigers’ score this week.
In the RQS, a team’s three highest away scores are part of the calculation, so Auburn’s lowest score of 195.650 at Florida is still counted in the RQS.
Auburn’s next two meets are at Kentucky and at Alabama, so the Tigers have the opportunity for a significant increase if they can score higher than they did at Florida.
Auburn is the fourth-highest ranked SEC team this week, behind only No. 2 LSU, No. 3 Florida and No. 6 Alabama.
The Tigers return to action this Friday, March 6, at 6 p.m. at Kentucky.
