Head coach Jay Clark said of his senior student-athletes, “I’m grateful for all of our seniors every year because they leave an unforgettable mark on our program and on me personally…It’s the last time that we get to compete in front of our home fans, but this isn’t the end. We have six more weeks to go where we want to go. So, we want to celebrate our seniors and recognize all that they’ve accomplished and are still continuing to accomplish, but we also want to focus on taking care of business first.”

One gymnast who won’t be competing is Livvy Dunne. She revealed on Instagram that she is still recovering from an avulsion fracture of her patella.
The team has not lost a meet at home since 2023 and are undefeated historically in front crowds of 13,000 or more.
The first 2,000 fans in attendance will receive a special shirt featuring all of the senior gymnasts.
Be sure to get to the PMAC early tonight‼️
