CORVALLIS, Ore. - Iowa State scored a 196.250 to take second-place in the second session of the NCAA National Collegiate Women's Gymnastics Championships to qualify to the school's first-ever "Super Six" appearance Thursday at Gill Coliseum on the campus of Oregon State University.

Anson will compete in the individual finals on vault and floor on Saturday.
"We are so thrilled and excited because we earned our right to be in the Super Six tonight," head coach K.J. Kindler said." "Our goal was to make it to tomorrow and we did just that. Jade (Kvach), one of our all-arounders all season was unable to compete on two events for us and we had kids stepped up for her on bars and floor. The team rallied when there was mistakes and stepped it up."

Powell's score gave her second-team honors for the second-consecutive season.
"I can't put it into words how excited I am," Anson said. "We worked for this all season and I was so happy that we were consistent all night. We have a great team and we are really pumped to compete at the Super Six."
After a bye in the opening rotation, Iowa State began on bars and put together a solid 49.075 to kick things off with its fifth 49.000-plus score of the season.
