After placing second at the Denver regional, LSU gymnastics will compete in the 2023 NCAA Championships.
LSU scored a 197.750, which tied Michigan. After the tiebreaker process, it was LSU that got to advance.
The drama of the weekend reflected the way LSU’s done it all year. Injuries have forced LSU to deal with adversity, but the Tigers have strung together some hot streaks this year.
“This is a special group and it makes it that much sweeter that we got through it in the fashion that we did against some very good teams,” [autotag]Jay Clark[/autotag] said in a release.
A highlight of the weekend was LSU’s performance on bars, where the Tigers set a program regional record on the event.
[autotag]Haleigh Bryant[/autotag] posted a 9.975 on bars while [autotag]Alexis Jeffery[/autotag] led off with a 9.950.
Bryant came through in the clutch again on the floor with a 9.950. It was enough to keep LSU in the tiebreaker spot and put the cap on what was a strong weekend for Bryant.
The NCAA semifinals take place on April 13 in Fort Worth, Texas.
LSU will again be competing against SEC champion Florida as well as Denver, who LSU just saw last weekend.
