Seniors Ashleigh Clare-Kearney and Lauren Klein will step onto the PMAC floor Saturday for the last time as LSU gymnasts.The No. 11 LSU gymnastics team hosts NC State on Saturday in the final home meet of the 2009 season.Klein said there are many things she is going to miss, but it is time for her to go.”I’m going to miss the team and knowing you have a group of people that you can always rely on to be there,” Klein said. “But I’m ready to go.”Both Clare-Kearney and Klein said their fondest memory as LSU gymnasts is competing in the Super Six meet last season.”Only 12 girls at LSU can say that they made it to Super Six for the first time in school history,” Clare-Kearney said. “So being one of those 12 is great, and I’m so excited that I got to be a part of that.”The Wolfpack are hoping a good week of practice and a healthy lineup will lead them to a victory.”We’re getting some kids back in the lineup, and we’re excited to see how they can perform,” said NC State coach Mark Stevenson.The key returning starter for the Wolfpack is freshman Jessica Panza, who was a high school vault champion. She is expected to compete in all four events after healing from a high ankle sprain. Saturday’s meet also marks the second Etta James Memorial Meet.The Tigers set a home attendance record when 7,717 fans packed the PMAC to see LSU host Alabama in the inaugural memorial meet last season. The LSU Athletic Department reports the 2008 meet raised $30,950 for Foundation 56, a breast cancer awareness foundation.Foundation 56 was created in 2007 by former LSU linebacker and current Dallas Cowboy Bradie James as a way to raise breast cancer   awareness in the Baton Rouge area. James was inspired to start the foundation to carry on the legacy of his mother, Etta James, who died of breast cancer. James said it is an honor to be able to do something to carry on his mother’s legacy.”It means so much to my entire family,” James said. “Just to hear her name ring out and have so many people be a part of this.”The goal for this year is to surpass 8,000 in attendance and raise more than $50,000. LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux said the contribution to the Baton Rouge community is special because it focuses on the local area.”So many cancer efforts are about the big picture,” Breaux said. “Well this is about Baton Rouge and our 10-parish area and the people that are in need of breast cancer awareness. For us to be a part of his big picture is a blessing to us.”      —-Contact Rob Landry at [email protected]
