Eq4bits Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 From: https://lsusports.net/news/2024/03/22/gymnastics-competes-for-fifth-sec-title-on-saturday/ NEW ORLEANS – The No. 3 nationally ranked LSU Gymnastics team (12-3, 5-2) is set to compete in the second session of the 2024 SEC Championships on Saturday, March 23 at 7 p.m. CT inside the Smoothie King Center. The Tigers will be competing for their fifth SEC title in program history on Saturday. “This is just the next step in our process. Our message and mindset is staying exactly the same as it has all year. We’re focused on us. We’ve done the work all year and now it’s just about being confident and doing our normal,” said head coach Jay Clark. “We have to go compete free and fearlessly and not try to put any additional pressure on ourselves. If we do that, then we’ll see how the chips fall. We know it’s going to be a great meet, but this isn’t our final destination.” Seeding for the SEC Gymnastics Championships is based on the final regular-season team National Qualifying Scores (NQS). The Tigers finished the regular season as the No. 1 team in the conference with their NQS of 198.125 to earn them the first seed on Saturday. As the top seed, LSU will start the competition on vault and rotate to bars and beam before finishing on floor. All of the action will be aired on SEC Network with John Roethlesberger and Sam Peszek on the call. Taylor Davis will serve as the on-site reporter. In addition to the linear broadcasts on SECN, there will also be individual apparatus streams available on the ESPN app. Live stats for both sessions of competition can be found here. Visit the homepage for the 2024 SEC Gymnastics Championships. Top Seeded Tigers Teams seeded 5-8 will open competition in the first session on Saturday in the Smoothie King Center at 2:30 p.m. CT while the top four seeds compete in the second session of the day at 7 p.m. CT. Arkansas (5), Missouri (6), Auburn (7) and Georgia (8) will kick off the competition before LSU (1) takes on Florida (2), Kentucky (3) and Alabama (4) in the evening session. The last time LSU entered the conference championship as the top seed was in 2019, when the team finished first in the meet. The Tigers own four SEC Championship titles in program history, including the inaugural conference title in 1981 and then three consecutive titles from 2017 to 2019. LSU’s History at the SEC Championship Saturday’s meet marks the 43rd edition of the SEC Championships and its second appearance in New Orleans since first hosting in 2019.

The SEC is the only league with every program currently in the top 20. The four teams in the SEC Championships’ final session are among the nation’s top-10: (No. 3 LSU, No. 4 Florida, No. 6 Kentucky, No. 7 Alabama). Last Time On The Floor The Tigers wrapped up the regular season with a 198.250-196.075 win over North Carolina last Friday night in the PMAC. LSU’s victory on the night achieved an undefeated 6-0 home record on the year, marking the program’s first undefeated home season since 2018. The Tigers have achieved this record on five separate occasions in past seasons in 2018, 2017, 2014, 2010 and 1987. Tiger Nation continued to show out in the PMAC for the final home meet of the year and senior night. The Tigers secured their third straight sell-out, the most in a single season, and welcomed their largest crowd this season and fourth largest in program history as 13,328 Tiger fans showed out to watch the squad take down the Tar Heels. The Tigers tallied a 49.400 on vault to take the early lead over North Carolina’s 48.425 after one rotation in the PMAC. Haleigh Bryant recorded a 9.925 in the anchor spot to finish as the top performer on the event. Bryant continued her momentum to the second event as she anchored with a 9.975 routine on bars to earn her the title. It was a 49.625 for the Tigers in the second rotation to extend their lead to 99.025-97.550 at the halfway point in the PMAC. LSU scored a 49.625 on beam to close out the third rotation and extend their lead. A Tiger once again took home a title as McClain posted a 9.975 to earn her the victory on the night, moving her total to six titles this year and her fourth on the event. The Tigers floor squad posted a 49.600 in the final rotation to close out the night. After four rotations in the PMAC, LSU defeated North Carolina with their sixth score over 198 this year. Kiya Johnson anchored floor with a nearly perfect routine that earned her a 9.975 and the victory on the night. It was Johnson’s third floor title this year, moving her career wins to 19 on the event and 46 in total. Bryant tallied two titles on vault and bars at the meet, as she now owns 26 event victories this year, with 31 on vault, 14 on bars and 86 in her career. Aleah Finnegan appeared in the all-around for the first time this year and finished as the top performer in the meet with her season high 39.625. The all-around title marks her sixth title this year. Week 11 Rankings The Tigers placed as the No. 3 team in the country ahead of the 2024 SEC Championships this Saturday. LSU has ranked in the top-five nationally for all 11 weeks of the regular season. The squad owns a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 198.125 and ranks in the top-five on all four events for the fifth consecutive week. Their five counting scores are 198.425, 198.325, 198.300, 197.950 and 197.625. LSU ranks second on vault (49.490), third on bars (49.560), fourth on beam (49.505) and first on floor (49.695). The Tigers own the highest score on vault in the country this year and second highest floor score.

Haleigh Bryant continues to lead the Tigers as she ranks the top gymnast in the country for the ninth consecutive week with her NQS of 39.800. The senior owns the highest all-around score in the country (39.925), which is a program record, the second best score in SEC history and ties for fourth-best in NCAA history. Bryant owns an NQS of 9.900 or higher across the board and ranks individually on every event to mark her third straight week in the top-10 on every event and ninth week in the top-25. She currently ranks first on vault, fourth on bars, eighth on beam and fifth on floor. Kiya Johnson placed amongst the top gymnasts in the country for the eighth consecutive week as she ranks No. 15 in the all-around with her NQS of 39.570. The fifth-year senior also improved to No. 7 in the floor rankings with her NQS of 9.960. Aleah Finnegan and KJ Johnson remained in the top-20 in the floor rankings.

Regular Season Notables LSU finished the regular season with an overall record of 12-3, a conference record of 5-2 and an undefeated home record inside the PMAC. This year, the Tigers recorded six scores over 198, the second most by any team this year, and earned multiple program best scores. The Tigers set a new program best score on February 2 with their score of 198.475 over No. 7 Arkansas and also recorded their highest road score in program history on March 8 at the Podium Challenge with their score of 198.425. The squad took down nine ranked opponents in 2024 and there were 11 perfect scores throughout the regular season, with six from Haleigh Bryant, two from Aleah Finnegan, two from Konnor McClain and one from Kiya Johnson. LSU earned the highest average attendance in the nation for the second time in program history this year. Tiger fans continue to show out every year as LSU has finished in the top four of average attendance nationally for seven consecutive years. The Tigers claimed the No. 1 spot in the country for the first time in 2022 to end Utah’s streak and once again took the top spot in 2024. The squad finished the regular season with an average attendance of 12,590, marking the highest average in school history and the seventh-straight season with an average of 10,000 or better. A total of over 75,000 Tiger fans showed out to the PMAC across six home meets this year. The Tigers home season was highlighted with three consecutive sold-out crowds, the most that LSU has seen in a single season. Fans filled the PMAC for the squad’s competitions against Auburn, Alabama and North Carolina as each of those crowds rank in the top-10 largest in program history. Bryant The AAI Award Finalist Senior Haleigh Bryant was named one of six finalists for the 2024 AAI Award, announced by the American Athletic Incorporation (AAI). Often likened to the Heisman Trophy for Women’s Gymnastics, the AAI Award is given annually to the top senior gymnast in the country. This prestigious award has become a symbol of excellence in the sport. Bryant joins Luisa Blanco (Alabama), Audrey Davis (Oklahoma), Maile O’Keefe (Utah), Gabby Wilson (Michigan) and Raena Worley (Kentucky) as one of this year’s finalists. The senior was voted as a finalist out of 50 nominees by head coaches throughout the nation. She joins an elite group of LSU gymnasts who have been named finalists for the award, including Sarah Finnegan, Myia Hambrick, Ashleigh Gnat and Susan Jackson. LSU has had three AAI Award Winners in Finnegan (2019), Gnat (2017) and Susan Jackson (2010) in program history. Bryant sets the standard for what it means to be a true competitor, teammate, and leader. She has already proven to be one of the best gymnasts in LSU and NCAA history as she continues to etch her name in the record books in her senior campaign with the Tigers. In her senior season, Bryant has completed both a gym slam and season slam. With her first career perfect score on beam at Georgia, Bryant became the 14th gymnast in NCAA history to complete a gym slam, a perfect score on every event. She continued to have a record breaking performance in the Tigers meet at the Podium Challenge, where she notched her first perfect score on vault this year and became only the 10th gymnast in the NCAA to complete a single-season slam (a perfect score on every event in a single season). She now owns six 10’s across all four events this season and 16 in her career (9 VT, 3 UB, 3 FX, 1 BB), placing her at 10th most in NCAA history. In that same meet, she earned a career high 39.925 in the all-around to mark a new school record. The score is the highest by any gymnast in program history, the second highest in SEC history and matches the fourth-best score in NCAA history. A native of Cornelius, North Carolina, Bryant is a 17 time All-American (5 VT, 3 UB, 2 BB, 3 FX, 4 AA) and three-time All-SEC member. The senior currently owns 86 titles in her career (sixth most in LSU history) with 31 on vault, 14 on bars, six on beam, nine on floor and 26 in the all-around. Her 31 career titles on vault are the second most in school history while she is tied with Rheagan Courville for most career all-around titles in program history. The winner of this year’s AAI Award will be announced at the 2024 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 'The sky's the limit': LSU gymnastics won its fifth SEC Championship Ava Hebert | @avahebe4 Mar 23, 2024 Updated 19 mins ago LSU gymnastics seniors pose Friday, March 15, 2024, after LSU's 198.250-196.075 win against North Carolina at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La. Morgan Cook LSU won its fifth SEC Gymnastics Championship with a score of 198.075, including two perfect 10s. The Tigers were the only team to break 198. Alabama came in second with 197.750, Kentucky followed with 197.60 and Florida finished fourth with 197.30. “This is a great group, and I’m very proud of how they’ve gone about their business all year long,” head coach Jay Clark said. “Any four of these teams could’ve won this thing.” Although the Tigers finished the first half of the rotation tied for first, they shined the most in the second half of the meet. Once again, the Tigers’ floor routine proved to be the best in the country, as LSU only posted one sub-9.90 score out of its top five, including a perfect 10 by Kiya Johnson. “We’re very, very confident on the floor,” Bryant said. “We just wanted to be normal- nothing more, nothing less.” Freshmen Konnor McClain and Amari Drayton got things started for the Tigers on the floor. McClain followed her perfect score on beam with a 9.925, and Drayton scored a 9.850. KJ Johnson tied her career-high floor score with a 9.975, then Bryant followed with a 9.950, setting up Kiya Johnson for her ninth career 10. The Tigers started the second half of the meet on balance beam, where freshman McClain scored the first perfect 10 of the night. “I’m just proud of Konnor,” Clark said. “It was a total group effort, and it came from different places.” Her routine was preceded by Sierra Ballard’s powerful leadoff performance. Ballard scored a 9.80, and Savannah Schoenherr followed with a solid 9.850. After McClain’s 10, Bryant scored a 9.950, setting up Aleah Finnegan to anchor with a 9.875. LSU went into its final event in second place. Kentucky led with 148.425, followed by LSU at 148.40. Alabama was in third with 148.20, and Florida trailed with 147.850. With the Tigers as the top seed, they started the night on vault. KJ Johnson stuck the first landing of the night, scoring a 9.875. Finnegan and Schoenherr followed with 9.850s, then Kiya Johnson scored the first 9.90+ score of the night (9.925). Bryant anchored with a 9.975. LSU and Alabama ended the first rotation at the top with a score of 49.475. Kentucky followed with 49.425 and Florida trailed with 49.400. Alabama took LSU’s spot on vault while the Tigers moved to uneven bars. Kiya Johnson led with a 9.825, and Ashley Cowan followed with a 9.950. McClain scored a 9.90, Schoenherr followed with a 9.850 and Bryant anchored with a 9.90. LSU and Kentucky’s total score increased to 98.925, followed by Alabama at 98.775 then Florida at 98.575. LSU entered the meet ranked No. 1 for the first time since 2019. They were followed by Florida at two, Kentucky at three and Alabama as the No. 4 seed. “We’ve done the work all year and now it’s just about being confident and doing our normal,” Clark said earlier in the week. “If we do that, then we’ll see how the chips fall.” The chips fell in LSU’s favor. With the exception of a select few out-of-state fans, the Smoothie King Center was packed with purple and gold, emitting the feeling of a home meet for LSU. The Tigers delivered for their fans. “We certainly want success at this meet, but this isn’t our final destination,” Clark said earlier in the week. The Tigers’ next challenge lies at the NCAA Regionals. “We’re not done yet,” Bryant said. “The sky’s the limit.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU’s score on the day matched the programs highest at the championships to place them in first overall across all eight teams in both sessions of the competition. “It means everything to be able to bring this home. This is a great group and I’m very proud of how they’ve gone about their business all year long,” said head coach Jay Clark. “The SEC is a gauntlet, and to come in here and be able to do it at home in front of our fans was pretty special. LSU is a special place.” The Tigers started the competition on vault, where KJ Johnson got things started with her yurchenko full that scored a 9.875. Aleah Finnegan followed Johnson, earning a 9.850. In the third spot, Amari Drayton posted a 9.825. Savannah Schoenherr put up a solid routine in the fifth spot with her 9.850. Kiya Johnson recorded the Tigers first score over a 9.900 with her yurchenko double that earned a 9.925. Haleigh Bryant earned a 9.975 in the anchor spot to close out the 49.475 vault rotation. Bryant’s vault routine helped to put the Tigers in the first overall spot through the first rotation and even with Alabama. LSU rotated to bars for the second rotation with Kiya Johnson leading off for the squad. Johnson scored a 9.825 while Ashley Cowan matched her career high in the second spot with a 9.950. Olivia Dunne competed in the third spot for her second appearance on bars this year, where she contributed a 9.800. Konnor McClain secured a 9.900 and Schoenherr followed with a 9.850.

The Tigers were even with Kentucky by a score of 98.925 at the halfway point in the Smoothie King Center. Alabama followed in third with a 98.775 and Florida in fourth with a 98.575. The Tigers kept the momentum going in the third rotation. In the beam leadoff position, Sierra Ballard scored a 9.800.

LSU finished beam with their second highest score in program history as they tallied a 49.475. Heading into their final rotation, the Tigers trailed Kentucky by .025. Through three rotations the top scores were as follows: 148.425 Kentucky, 148.400 LSU, 148.200 Alabama, and 147.850 Florida. McClain got things started on floor for the Tigers, continuing her stellar night with a 9.925 performance. Drayton followed in the second spot, where she earned a 9.850. KJ Johnson had one of her best routines of the year and scored a 9.975. The performance matched her season and career high on floor. Finnegan scored a 9.775 in the fourth spot while Bryant recorded her second 9.950 of the day to secure her all-around win. Kiya Johnson anchored the event with her 9.975. The LSU floor squad closed out the meet with a score of 49.675, the highest recorded by the program at SEC’s, to take the lead and secure the win. Bryant finished the meet as the top all-around performer with her score of 39.800 on the night. The Tigers took home titles on every event and had five gymnasts combine for five individual SEC champions in Haleigh Bryant, Ashley Cowan, Konnor McClain, KJ Johnson and Kiya Johnson.
