Hey Tiger Fans!

Another week of pre season is finished! Last week was our second high week in a row, and even though it was difficult we are starting to see the results of our hard work. We are doing full routines on every event, and almost everyone has a 10.0 routine on every event too. Even though our conditioning and weight lifting is challenging this year, we are pushing through it and making our routines cleaner and stronger than in past years. I can definitely see an improvement every week in our gymnastics. This is the best we have ever looked this early in the season, so I am excited to see what the season brings for us!

This past week was Homecoming week, so there were many events going on around campus. Every year we participate in the Homecoming Parade that goes around the streets of campus and downtown Columbia. Friday night we decorated signs at D and Brooke's house, which was a lot of fun. Then Saturday morning we all piled into a friend's truck and went to the parade. D drove the truck and luckily did not run any of us over! Almost everyone did flips and handstands for the crowd, and I think that we were definitely one of the favorite groups in the parade! Later that night we were all able to enjoy the homecoming game, and even though we didn't win we still had a good time with each other.

Well, that's all for this week. Don't forget to come to our Black and Gold Meet on December 11, and keep checking in for more updates!

GO TIGERS!
