Rock M Nation, a Missouri Tigers community

The #15 Mizzou Gymnastics squad beat the #14 and #16 schools this evening out in Las Vegas. Neither Mary Burke nor Sarah Shire won the All-Around (some LSU gymnast did with a RIDICULOUS score of 39.625) but the score which Mizzou put up (over 195) is a pretty darn impressive score at this VERY early stage of the season.

The Black and Gold meet is certainly not a great barometer for how the team will compete come the regular season, but some scores of note. Senior Sarah Shire scored 39.550 in the all-around Sophomore Mary Burke scored 39.400 in the all-around Senior Danielle Guide scored 39.300 in the all-around For some comparison, Adrienne Perry became the first all-around All American for Mizzou last year...with a score of 39.350 Great start for these ladies

From the looks of this article, both are in solid shape to become All-Around All-Americans, which is the top-16 from the two sessions. I had understood the evening session to be the finals, which is not the case. It is another 6 teams + wild cards participating, and the combined results dictate all-around AA's. Meanwhile, Perry is a 2nd team AA and Sarah Shire has advanced to the vault championships on Saturday night with a chance to become a national champion. She is also a 1st team AA, the first for the program since 1990.
