The season ends with a thud.
The back-to-back SEC champion and reigning, for the next day and a half, national champion LSU gymnastics team brought their season to a close Thursday night. A 197.5250 was not enough to fend off Utah, who scored a 197.7625, and UCLA, who scored a 197.7375, though it was enough to outscore Michigan State’s 197.3625. LSU failed to make the national final for the first time since 2022 in their second worst meet of the 2025 season, and they will finish the season in 5th overall ahead of Michigan State, Florida and Alabama.
