Denver is coming off a record-setting regular season in which numerous program records were set including its all-time team score (198.150 on March 5). Junior Jessica Hutchinson was named the Big 12 Gymnast of the Year for the second year running while graduate student Lynnzee Brown is a finalist for the prestigious AAI Award. The duo combined for three perfect 10.0s in 2023.
 
This is the first time since 2011 and the fifth time overall that Denver will host NCAA Regionals. It will be the first time DU will host the competition under its current multi-day format.
 
Denver was originally slated to host NCAA Regionals in 2020 when the NCAA postseason was prematurely canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The University of Denver joins the University of Oklahoma, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as hosts this season.
 
Five times, Denver has advanced to the NCAA National Championships as a team, most recently in 2019 when DU finished a historic fourth overall.
