RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State gymnastics unofficially opened its 2026 campaign Saturday evening at Reynolds Coliseum with its annual Red vs. White exhibition meet.

The event gave Wolfpack fans an early look at the 2026 squad as the team competed on vault, bars, beam and floor. The roster was split into two teams of 10 student-athletes, the Red Team and the White Team. The exhibition was judged by NC State alumnae Alexis Ortega '24, Peyton Childs '25 and Katie Cox '21, with Mr. and Ms. Wuf also joining the panel as honorary judges.

"This is a day that the team has been looking forward to all preseason," said head coach Kim Landrus. "We saw action from our newcomers with all five freshmen making their Reynolds debut. They handled it with poise and performed with excitement. What a great way to prepare for 2026."

The teams were divided as followed:

Red Team
Kailee Adomaites (Bars, Beam, Floor)
Syniya Thomas (Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor)
Autumn Rardin (Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor)
Maddie Hall (Vault, Beam)

Thomas was named an ACC Gymnast to Watch ahead of the upcoming season, while Rardin earned ACC Newcomer to Watch honors.

On the White Team, Emerson Fisk, Caroline Volk and Jenna Rusk all competed in all four events. Each of the five competitors delivered performances that contributed points for their respective teams from the judging panel.
