Numerous LSU alumnae will attend tonight’s gymnastics meet against Iowa, ranging from LSU coach D-D Breaux’s first season as a coach in 1978 to last year’s seniors.But this meet won’t be about those former gymnasts. It will be about the four seniors competing in their final home meet of the regular season.Sabrina Franceschelli, Summer Hubbard, Susan Jackson and Kayla Rogers will exit the PMAC as one of the most decorated classes in LSU history, having already combined for two Super Six appearances, an individual national title, 12 All-American honors and countless event and all-around titles.More than all the accolades stand out from Rogers’ nearly four years of being a Tiger.”One of the biggest things about our senior class is that all four of us are giving everything we’ve got to this team, especially now more than ever,” Rogers said. “And that’s really made a difference in team dynamics, and that’s one of the biggest things when you go into a competition.”Jackson said the realization of the impending senior night came before last Friday night’s meet. She added she is proud of the seniors for how far they have come in their time at LSU.”It’s a surreal feeling because I’ve been doing gymnastics for 20 years, and now it’s finally coming to an end,” Jackson said. “You will see a few tears, I’m sure. The four of us started off not so great. Living together we didn’t get along, but we have grown to be like sisters now.”Franceschelli agreed, saying it will be an emotional meet, especially because her mom and grandmother are flying from Boston for the meet. But she said the team is focusing on the goals that lie ahead — getting to another Super Six.”I just want us to have another great home meet,” Franceschelli said. “Last weekend was a great experience in front of such a big home crowd.”She isn’t alone in looking for another good home crowd and performance to follow up the team’s season-high 196.925 against then-No. 6 Oregon State last Friday.Hubbard said posting a 197.000 or above would be a big lift to the team’s Regional Qualifying Score and seeding in NCAA regional competition.The No. 10 Tigers’ RQS currently stands at a 196.110.The three home scores the Tigers are counting in the RQS are a pair of 196.475 scores and the 196.925 from last weekend, which is dropped because it’s the team’s highest score.The Tigers are also counting road scores of 195.350 (at the Lady Luck Invitational), 196.050 (at Georgia) and 196.200 (at Arkansas).Should LSU improve to around a 197.000 this weekend at home, it would see a more than half-point increase in a home score it is counting, which would lead to a noticeable increase in the team’s RQS average.”It’s vital that we get another high score because we would like to drop our new high score and count the score from last week,” said Hubbard, who will have her family from Florida in attendance for senior night. “We’ve been building on our score every week, so it’s not out of our range.”- – – -Contact Andy Schwehm at [email protected]
