Hey Tiger Fans!

Well, Spring Break is already over and we are preparing to leave for Regionals tomorrow at the University of Alabama. Last week, we spent a lot of time in the gym and worked on fine tuning our routines for this weekend. Since we didn't have class the whole week, we were able to spend extra hours working out, which wasn't all that bad because there wasn't much to do in Columbia anyway. On Friday, we had a full intrasquad on vault, bars, and beam. We practiced the different warm-up format and the byes that will take place at Regionals. This gave us a chance to get used to waiting around before competing because we haven't had a bye at a meet yet this year. Overall, the intrasquad went very well. Even though we were all a little tired from the hard week of practice, our routines still looked very strong. We are all so excited and prepared for this weekend. Our main focus this entire season has been to qualify to Nationals, and nothing is going to stop us. The Missouri gymnastics team will make history this weekend by qualifying to Nationals for the first time!

Go Tigers!
