U of M Gophers Win This Evening's Meet against Ohio State
The March 16, 2013 meet at the University of Minnesota showcased a lot of talented gymnasts. Minnesota Wins! It was an exciting meet, starting at 6:00 p.m tonight. The score was 197.225 Minnesota and 195.050 Ohio State. The Gophers scored 9.80 and above in all four events, a super strong showing! I think the judging was a little generous, especially on beam. Some competitors had more deductions than 0.2, in my opinion. The highlight of the meet was the floor. Ohio State has some great tumblers, and excellent choreography. Minnesota was really good too, especially Lindsay Mable's routine.
Both teams sported pink leotards, commemorating breast cancer awareness. But it did cause for some confusion as to which team we needed to be cheering for, especially since I brought a guest who was not familiar with the Gophers.
The All Around Winner was Gopher Lindsay Mable with a score of 39.525, Gopher Cierra Tomson was second with 39.350 and Melanie Shaffer of Ohio State was third with 39.175.
At the end of the meet, there was a ceremony for Gopher seniors Janell Campbell and Shannon Golich. The program had a nice interview with both women. All in all it was a great meet and I'm sorry to have to wait until next year to see more live College Gymnastics. I think coach Meg Stephenson said that Regionals would be held in Minnesota next year?

U of M vs Ohio State March 16, 2013
The gophersports.com website above has information on today's meet.
Should be a great meet. I'm going to bring a different camera and hopefully take some better photos. I haven't followed Ohio State since my former teammate in Indiana, and Ohio State great, Tracy Rinker competed 1981 to 1984.
Good luck Gophers!

Competing for the Gophers were Janell Campbell, Jenny Covers, Lucy Ennis, Shannon Golich, Briana Jones, Dusti Russell, Kylie Schermann, Kayla Slechta, and Cierra Tomson.
The program that was sold at the meet was really beautiful. It was a glossy 11x15 poster featuring Gopher gymnast Cierra Tomson.
This was the first meet I had been to this year and I thought the University of Minnesota Team looked excellent! My photos didn't turn out as good as I wanted and I will try a different camera at tomorrow's meet.
