FORT WORTH, Texas – University of Denver gymnasts Rosie Casali, Rylie Mundell and Madison Ulrich closed out Denver's 2025 season with six hit routines at the NCAA National Championships at Dickies Arena on Thursday afternoon.
 
The trio competed in the first of two semifinal sessions in the penultimate day of competition for the 2025 collegiate women's gymnastics season and posted some of the top individual performances at NCAA Nationals in DU history.
 
SIGNIFICANT STATS

• Ulrich's 9.8875s on both bars and beam match the seventh highest score by a DU gymnast at the NCAA National Championships.
  • Her all-around tally of 39.325 also became the 10^th highest NCAA Nationals score in program history.
• Mundell's 9.875 on bars is now tied for the 11^th highest score on the event in Denver's history at NCAA Nationals.
• In the final Semifinal I standings:
  • Ulrich was sixth in the all-around, tied for seventh on beam and tied for eighth on bars. With those finishes, she is projected to earn WCGA Postseason All-America status, which will be formally announced by Friday.
  • Those three finishes also move her into the top 10 in Denver's record books for individual finishes within a single semifinal at NCAA Nationals.
  • Mundell just narrowly missed a top-10 semifinal finish on bars, tying for No. 12.
  • Casali finished tied for No. 25 on vault.

MEET RECAP
In her first NCAA Nationals appearance, Ulrich demonstrated the consistency she has shown for much of her first two collegiate seasons, going four-for-four in one of the best individual all-around showing in DU's history at the NCAA National Championships. She started the competition with back-to-back 9.8875s on bars and beam – a score that would have been a career high on beam two meets prior. On floor in the third rotation, she nearly matched her bars and beam scores with a 9.850. She finished the meet with a 9.700 on vault after second guessing her landing and taking a couple little adjustment steps.
 
Casali hit her Yurchenko 1.5 in the second rotation in what would be the final appearance of her five-year career at Denver. Going a little too hard for the stick, she had to take a step backward and came away with a 9.7125, smiling all the way through her salute and jog back down the runway.
 
Mundell, too, closed out her gymnastics career with one of the best bars sets she hit all year, stalling multiple handstands on top of the bar and sticking her double layout dismount for a 9.850 that had her adopted team of the Missouri Tigers chanting "10" for her.
 
NEXT UP:
Denver will await results from the second semifinal to determine the final individual standings, podium finishes and national champions. NCAA Semifinal II is set for 8 p.m. CT/7 p.m. MT on ESPN2.
