LAST TIME OUT
Shepard competed in the all-around competition in all three days of competition at the Athens Regional. The sophomore tied her career-best mark of 39.500 twice, and her weekend was highlighted by a 9.925 on floor that clinched NC State's second-place finish in Round Two. The finish advanced the Wolfpack to the Regional Final for the first time in program history.

Shepard's 9.925 was also good to qualify her as an individual for the 2021 National Championship on floor.

PREVIOUS PACK QUALIFIERS
NC State's last individual qualifiers were Brittni Watkins and Michaela Woodford, who both qualified as all-around individual competitors for the 2015 NCAA Championship. Watkins finished in 10th while Woodford finished 16th in all-around competition.

Other recent Wolfpack qualifiers include Rachel Fincham, Stephanie Ouellette, Taylor Seaman and Leigha Hancock.
