LEXINGTON, Ky. – Brown senior gymnast Sophia Dewar capped her collegiate career on Friday afternoon by scoring a 9.825 on floor at NCAA Regionals in Lexington, Ky. Dewar placed tied for 16th out of 28 overall in her session while rotating with the University of Arkansas.
She was joined by Bridgeport's Nova Staruk (vault), Penn's Jordan Barrow (vault) and Manama Fofana (floor), and SCSU's Abby Royer (floor) as the five GEC gymnasts to qualify for regionals.
This marked the third consecutive season that Brown has had an NCAA Regional qualifier, joining Julia Bedell (2024-floor) and Maya Davis (2025-floor). This is only the second time in program history Brown has had a regional qualifier in three straight years (2002-2004).
Dewar qualified for regionals after posting a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 9.870, which ranked third in the GEC and tied for 109th overall in the nation. A consistent performer all season for Brown, she earned First Team All-GEC honors on both vault and floor, and won the co-Ivy Classic individual championship title on floor. She matched her career-high of 9.875 on floor five times during the 2026 campaign, including on February 22 when she tied for first place to win her first Ivy Classic title. On March 1 against SUNY Cortland, she won on both vault and floor en route to being voted the GEC Gymnast of the Week. She set a new career-high on vault of 9.850 to win the event at Temple on February 13, which tied for the fifth-best vault score in program history.
She was one of only two Brown gymnasts to rank in the top 25 in the conference on three different events.
As a team, Brown finished the 2026 regular season with an NQS of 193.917, the third highest in program history. Each of the team's top four all-time National Qualifying Scores have come in the last four years. The team's final ranking of 52nd nationally is the program's highest-ever finish, surpassing the previous high mark of No. 53 set in 2016.
