GREENSBORO, N.C. – No. 20 NC State gymnastics is set to compete at the 2026 ACC Gymnastics Championship on Saturday, March 21 at First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.
The Pack earned a four seed in the meet, placing it in Session II along with top-seeded Stanford, second-seeded California and third-seeded Clemson in a quad-meet format that begins at 7 p.m. and will air on ACC Network. Fifth-seeded UNC and sixth-seeded Pitt will compete in a dual-formatted Session I at 2:30 p.m.
ACC Championship History
NC State has won two of the three ACC-sponsored gymnastics championships in league history. The Wolfpack claimed conference titles in 1984, the first ACC gymnastics championship, and again in 2024, the first year the league reinstated gymnastics as a conference-sponsored sport.
In the most recent ACC Championship in 2025, NC State placed fourth after competing in Session II of the quad-meet format alongside Stanford, California and North Carolina. The Wolfpack posted a 196.500 team score in the conference finale.
Last Time Out
NC State closed out the regular season with a win on Senior Night, using a program-record score on bars to defeat West Virginia, 196.650-195.725, inside Reynolds Coliseum on Friday, March 13. The Pack's 49.500 on bars marked a new program high, with Elle Hadrick leading the rotation with an event-winning 9.975, a new career high that matched the highest individual bars score in program history.
Hadrick also won the event title on floor, setting a new career-best mark with a 9.925 to bring her career total to nine scores of 9.900 or higher across all events. Maddie Hall claimed the vault title for her second event win of the season, scoring a 9.850. Both of NC State's event winners on the night won their respective titles outright.
