Reflecting on the win LSU coach Jay Clark said, “The thing that most pleases me about tonight is the completeness of the performance. This was our best performance this year regardless of score from top to bottom and the best we’ve seen all year long through all four events. The team was loose, they were relaxed, and they handled business right. They didn’t let the score get to them and they didn’t let any distractions get to them.” After today’s triumphant victory, LSU gymnastics is gearing up for the upcoming showdown against North Carolina next Friday.
