Lost in the hoopla of getting a shiny new Athletic Director is the fact that the best team on campus is preparing to compete for the national title this weekend. The LSU gymnastics team has become a regular at nationals, even with the field shrunk down to eight teams from twelve, but DD Breaux is yet to get over the hump.
Could this be the year? Well, LSU isn’t favored to win, but they are one of the major contenders for the title. Oklahoma and UCLA have spent all year being the virtual 1A and 1B of the gymnastics rankings, and LSU has climbed the rankings to settle in as a strong #3 seed.
