INDIANAPOLIS – Alaska Anchorage freshman gymnast Morgan Cook has moved into the all-around lineup for the NCAA Division I West Regional Championships, set for Saturday, Apr. 7 in Seattle.

Cook moved up from alternate status after California’s Mariesah Pierce withdrew due to injury. The Seawolf rookie will be one of five individual all-arounders who will rotate with the full squads from No. 4 Alabama, No. 9 Louisiana State, No. 16 Arizona, Iowa, Central Michigan and host Washington.

Cook will rotate with Arizona when the competition gets under way at 3 p.m. ADT at Alaska Airlines Arena.

The Hot Springs, Ark., native earned a 37.435 regional qualifying score in eight all-around performances to become the first Seawolf since Leah Wilson in 2009 and the 11th UAA gymnast ever to qualify for D-I regionals. Cook posted her season-high of 38.400 on Mar. 11 against Michigan State.
