The No. 6 LSU gymnastics team captured every individual title in its 195.875-195.250 victory at No. 16 Kentucky on Friday night.
Sophomore all-around Randi Lau won vault with a 9.900, while a 9.850 from junior all-around Sarie Morrison was good for the uneven bars title. Sophomore all-around Lloimincia Hall’s 9.875 gave her the top score on the floor exercise, and sophomore all-around Rheagan Courville dominated beam with a 9.950.
Courville tied for the all-around title with a 39.225, and her near-perfect score on beam came with the Tigers (6-2, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) trying to hold on to their lead in the final rotation.
“Kentucky did a super job,” LSU coach D-D Breaux said. “We could have easily given that away on the last event. …Rheagan showed up when we needed Rheagan to be there the most, and I’ve got to give her some real applause for that.”
Junior all-around Kaleigh Dickson was poised to capture the all-around title heading into beam, but she suffered a heavy deduction after slipping and using her hands to catch herself. Dickson ended up with a 9.625 on beam, marring a great performance featuring a 9.875 on fault and a 9.825 on both floor and uneven bars.
“I feel like I’m more confident than I was last season,” Dickson said. “I had my team cheering me on, and I just wanted to do it all for my team. That aspect of it really helped me stay in it and hit my routines.”
