Not all was lost when No. 20 MU gymnastics fell 196.025-195.075 to No. 14 Arkansas on Friday night.
It was Pink Out night for the Tigers — a dedication to breast cancer survivors and a fundraiser for the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. An event that has more importance than winning a meet.
The crowd donned shades of pink and lifted posters above their heads that read in bold "I Stand for" with a name scrawled beneath, and the athletes walked into the Hearnes Center gym, their arms linked with survivors.
"Gymnastics in particular is a huge platform for a lot of positive things," head coach Shannon Welker said.
