Lindenwood Gymnastics had been preparing for this kind of event since early August. During the fall of 2012, LU Gymnastics faced University of Missouri (Mizzou) as a pre-season meet for the upcoming competitions. Mizzou won the battle, but LU lady lions got experience and became prepared  for the regular season.

After the competition in Denver, Freshman Lauren Cartmell said, “The energy level in the gym brought our whole team together. For me it was also fun because it was in my home town so i knew a lot of the fans which made it even better.”

The next gymnastics competition will be their home opener on Friday at 6pm. For more information visit the gymnastics schedule.
