NAIA women's gymnastics championships
(Redirected from NAIA national women's gymnastics championship)
The NAIA sponsored a women's gymnastics championship between 1981 and 1988, when it was discontinued. The rise of Division III gymnastics through the NCAA made the need for the NAIA organization less, thus its fade out.
