The Minnesota Gophers gymnastics team turned in a great performance in the opening session of the Normal Regional in the NCAA Gymnastics Championships Thursday afternoon. Minnesota won their session with a score of 197.825—their fourth best score in team history and their best score ever in a NCAA Tournament Regional Semifinal. Minnesota advances to the Normal Region Final on Saturday night where the top two teams will advance to the NCAA Championships semifinals in Fort Worth, Texas in two weeks.
The Gophers got things started on the floor where Mya Hooten is the queen who reigns supreme.
