This past Saturday, our Mizzou Gymnastics team made history by reaching third place in the NCAA National Championship Final! It was an exceptional finish for the Tigers in Fort Worth, Texas, and the first time in program history that the team advanced to the NCAA National Championship Final. It was also the best postseason finish of any women’s team in Mizzou history.

The No. 7 Tigers competed against No. 2 Oklahoma, the No. 4 Utah and No. 5 UCLA with a final score of 197.2500, beating Utah.

Mizzou’s Helen Hu won the NCAA Gymnastics Balance Beam National Championship with a score of 9.9875 during last Thursday’s semi-final competition! Her score secured the Tiger’s advancement to the 4 on the Floor championship by one tenth of a point. Saturday, she concluded her outstanding Tiger career by scoring a 9.9650 on the beam.

I am extremely proud of the Tigers and everything they have accomplished this year! Coming soon, we will share details about a special celebration of the team’s achievements on campus.

M-I-Z!
