Gymnastics Wins First Road Meet at Georgia
ATHENS, Ga – In its first top-ten matchup of the season and in front of a sellout crowd, the second-ranked LSU gymnastics team defeated the eighth-ranked Georgia Gymdogs, 196.725 – 196.150, Friday night in Stegeman Coliseum.
The Tigers improved to 2-0 and 1-0 in the SEC for 2020. LSU extended its streak to 14 meets over Georgia.
Freshman Kiya Johnson claimed the all-around title with a career-high score of
39.525. The win marked her first AA victory of the year.
"We were in Georgia's Arena, against a very good Georgia team tonight," co-head coach D-D Breaux said. "We came from behind and beat a team like Georgia on balance beam, I would say that this team earned some ribbons tonight."
