The Gophers scored a 197.825, the fourth-best all-time score
MINNEAPOLIS -- No. 13 Minnesota gymnastics took home three victories Sunday in its Senior Day Meet at Maturi Pavilion. The Gophers (197.825) outlasted No. 20 Iowa (196.375), Illinois (195.150) and Northern Illinois (191.400).
Minnesota's score was its fourth best in program history and topped its prior best of the season (197.700).
"The team's really been coming together each and every week," said head coach Jenny Hansen. "To be able to send your seniors out like this, it's exactly what you're hoping for."
The Gophers scored 49.450 on vault, 49.325 on bars, 49.500 on beam and 49.550 on the floor.
Arianna Ostrum won the all-around title for the third straight meet with a career-best 39.675. She won on vault with her first career perfect 10 while Jordyn Lyden and Emma Slevin tied for the bars title at 9.950. Lyden also won the beam title with a 9.950. Ostrum won on the floor with a career-best 9.975.
"I'm so glad Arianna and Jordyn were rewarded for the routines they did," Hansen said. "They were just amazing tonight and it'll certainly validate the hard work they've been doing. It'll give them confidence going into Big Ten's."
Minnesota is starting to perform at its highest level and has big time hopes heading into next weekend's Big Ten Championships.
"We have to figure out what we can do to create the feelings we have here at home to be able to perform at a high level on the road. We've had some good discussions with the team and feel really good going into next weekend. I think having a practice day ahead of time and being able to use the equipment will be good for us," she said.
