Hey Tiger Fans, postseason gymnastics is here and the team is working harder than ever to pave their way to Nationals.

Last weekend, at Big 12's there was a slight disappointment with the 3rd place finish with a 195.925. However we could not be more proud of the individual titles that were won. Shi won the Vault with a 9.9, Beam with a 9.85 and the All Around competition, with a final score of 39.45. And A won Floor with a 9.95 and received second in the All Around by scoring a 39.325. Our performance at Big 12's was in no way a disappointment, hitting almost all of our routines and not counting a fall on any event is something to be incredibly proud of. The team's perseverance and incredible dedication to each other throughout the year has been my favorite part of this entire season.

This week we continue the hard work in the gym and in the weight room, as we prepare for Regional's with Alabama and Oklahoma. We are extremely motivated to take down Oklahoma; our gymnastics is right there on the same level as theirs and the close scores are only there to prove it. Your Tigers are putting it all on the line to be the first Missouri gymnastics team in history to make it to Nationals!

GO TIGERS!!!
