Coming off of a first place finish in the GymQuarters Invitational in St. Charles, Mo., on Friday, the LSU gymnastics team was back in the PMAC Sunday to face the Missouri Tigers.
In front of 11,000 screaming LSU fans, the team reached a season high score of 197.650. The LSU Tigers defeated the Missouri Tigers 197.650-195.475.
“Two meets in a weekend really worked in our benefit, because postseason is two days in a row, two meets in a row, and we don’t have the opportunity to do this during the regular season, so it gets us ready for postseason,” LSU coach D-D Breaux said.
The Tigers started out strong as senior McKenna Kelley received a 9.900 on vault with sophomore Sarah Edwards and junior Kennedi Edney not far behind her, both receiving a 9.900.
