What a showcase!
LSU kicked off the 2023 gymnastics season in the PMAC Monday night with the annual Gymnastics 101 preview/exhibition event. This was an incredible experience that showed off the potential this team has going into the upcoming season.
Before going into the routines and all, I want to give special mention to the way LSU ran this event. Last year’s Gym 101 was nothing compared to this year’s and set a standard for how to run these events. They showed a lot of variety on each event, running at least nine people per rotation; they created a great environment for the gymnasts that was less about doing things perfectly and more about getting used to doing things well under the lights in front of a crowd; and they created a wonderful fan experience by having coaches and gymnasts show off who they are in a way they can’t during the season and by adding the wonderful insight of Kaleigh Dickson-Aboud to put the “101” in Gym 101.
