On Wednesday, the LSU gymnastics team finalized their 2021 schedule.
The Tigers are coming off a 2020 season in which they finished first in the SEC and second nationally with an average attendance of 11,417 fans.
The schedule pits LSU against nine teams that were ranked in the top 25 last season. LSU finished the 2020 campaign ranked No. 6 in the country.
The 2021 home meet slate includes Oregon State, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, New Hampshire, Missouri and Illinois. The Tigers will travel to Arkansas, TWU, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky.

The 2021 SEC Gymnastics Championship will take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, roughly an hour and a half from Baton Rouge.
Should LSU qualify for the NCAA Championships, it would be their 31st overall appearance in the NCAA Championships. The championships will take place on April 1-3, 2021, at Utah, Missouri, New Hampshire or West Virginia.
The home gym of the Tigers, the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, is considered one of the top environments in all of women’s gymnastics. Head coach D-D Breaux enters her 43rd season as the head gymnastics coach at LSU.
Remarkably one of the best coaches in LSU athletics history, Breaux has a record of 800-410-8. She has a .610 winning percentage during her time at LSU.

Breaux last won the SEC Coach of the Year award in 2017 and led the Tigers to three straight SEC Meet championships in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
LSU will look to win more individual championships in 2021, and their quest to finally bring home a team national championship begins in early 2021.
