Bowling Green, Ohio - BGSU gymnasts Ann Marie Kassouf qualified for the 2003 National Collegiate Women's Gymnastics Regional Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 12. The senior co-captain will be one of five gymnasts competing in the all-around category. Kassouf qualified thanks to several top all-around performances in the 2003 season.

"Ann Marie should be very proud of her accomplishments," said BGSU head coach Dan Connelly. "She has strived to do this her entire career, and for it to happen in her senior year should make her very excited."

This season Kassouf owns six of the top seven all-around performances for the Falcons. Her top performances came on March 29 at the 2003 MAC Championships when she posted an all-around score of 39.100 and on February 23 versus Ball State with a score of 39.050.
