This past Sunday, our No. 7 ranked Mizzou Gymnastics team defeated the No. 13 Auburn Tigers at home in the Hearnes Center, winning with a record-breaking score of 198.100 to 197.0150 – the highest score in program history! With their win on Senior Day, the Tigers became one of only five teams in the NCAA to reach 198.000 this season. It was also the first time in program history the Tigers went undefeated at home during regular season competition.

One of many standouts from the day was senior Amari Celestine, who tied her career best score for her final home meet floor routine with 9.975. She also set the tempo in performance with the sixth-best all-around score in program history at 39.650.  

This week, the Tigers continue their dominance in the national rankings at No.7. This marks the seventh week in a row that the Tigers are in the Top 10. Their final regular season meet is this Friday against the No. 16 Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

It’s been fantastic to watch our Mizzou Tigers compete in another record-setting season. I can’t wait to continue watching their accomplishments leading into the post-season.

M-I-Z!
