Usain Bolt, the Jamaican runner widely known as the fastest sprinter ever, once said, “There are better starters than me but I’m a strong finisher.”
This statement has rung extremely true for Mizzou Gymnastics’ season thus far. There are much better starters in NCAA Division I gymnastics this season, but damn, there simply can’t be but a few better finishers out there.
The setup at St. Charles’ Family Arena for the second Zou to the Lou quad meet on Valentine’s Day was nice enough, and yes, we did make it there this year, but I think I still prefer a good ol’ fashioned home SEC dual to a big 4-team meet in another city myself.
