The No. 16 Missouri gymnastics team took down No. 5 Auburn 197.450 to 196.55 on Sunday night. The upset victory came in front of 6,041 fans, a new record for the Hearnes Center. Dennis Gates was in attendance.
“It was an outstanding atmosphere,” Gates said. “I was able to see how electric the Hearnes Center is. It was my first time at the Hearnes, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.”
The Tigers’ next meet will be this Friday against Arkansas in Fayetteville.
“I was just realizing how good our gymnasts program is, to be able to defeat a top five program and being ranked themselves,” Gates said.
