Session one of these championships is already complete and two teams have already solidified their places into the final on Saturday night! Two more teams will be looking to advance to these finals in tonight’s evening session and see where they stack up to the teams who have already qualified for tomorrow.
Lindenwood is coming in as the heavy favorite to be one of the two advancing in this session, having had a stellar final season as a program. The Lions were crowned the MIC Conference Champions this year, and are coming into this competition averaging a 195.468, having broken the 197 mark once in January this year. The team will be looking to put up another solid day to get them into the second half of this championship competition and vye for another title. The Brown Bears will also be competing in this second session and are starting on its night off on beam, which has the capability to be a really strong start for the team. This past weekend, junior Julia Bedell had the chance to compete at the Gainesville regional qualifying on floor, and has been an outstanding, consistent competitor all season. The Bears will be looking for her to put up some big scores, and have the night it knows it can have to get that second spot into the team final.
