This title was also for D D and the gymnasts who began the fantastic climb to the top

Its been a decade long journey for the LSU Gymnastics program , filled with thrills and the disappointment of falling just short of the title. They knocked on the door, rattled the door knob and finally kicked that son of a bitch in to the title room. The short term seminal moment for the program was when Kiya suffered a torn achilles. They could have folded the tent but rallied around each other. Three days later they took the number one team in the country to the wire and finished strong in making the Final Four. The bonds formed within the team were obvious and it was clear a new confidence had been planted.

They have finally won the title which eluded D D and so many great gymnasts over the years and in particular in the past ten years as we witnessed a wealth of talent gracing the Tigers and fueling exponential growth in the fan base. This current group had a terrific finish to win the title for this fan base , DD, Reagan, Bugs, Llamonecia, Sidney, Jessica, Sarah, Mya, Lexie, Mckenna, Kennedy, Shea and all the rest who formed the building blocks for a fantastic climb to the top. For the first time the team will enter the arena with the introduction as the defending national champions. This is not likely going to be their only championship considering the young talent on the team and the incoming recruits.
