Gymmin' Miel!: Louisiana State Gymnastics

2013

And the Women's NCAA Gymnastics season is underway!

The first four meets of the first week of the NCAA Women's Gymnastics were contested last night. I spent the night at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center at the University of Florida, watching the Gators open the season with a commanding performance over Ball State University. It was a fantastic competition to mark the start of the season for the Gators with their gymnasts scooping all the titles on offer. Florida's Bridget Sloan impressed in the first meet of her collegiate career whilst Mackenzie Caquatto, Kytra Hunter and Randy Stageberg also impressed. Freshman Denaisha Christian of Ball State, had a great first meet, and I must say that it is great to see Brittney Emmons who is is in her fifth year of NCAA eligibility competing the All Around.

Louisiana State University also dominated their opener against North Carolina State at home in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Sophomore Rheagan Courville of LSU took out the All Around honors as well as the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise honors, with team mate Sarie Morrison earning the Vault and Uneven Bars titles. Louisiana's Freshman Jessica Savona made a solid debut for the team tying for third on Vault and second on the Balance Beam and finishing third on the Floor Exercise. Junior Diahanna Ham was a standout performer for North Carolina State.

The Cancun Classic saw the University of Michigan take out the team title with their highest team total since 2011. Brigham Young University finished second with Oregon State in third. Michigan's Joanna Sampson, Sachi Sugiyama and Katie Zurales went 1-2-3 in the All Around. Sampson picked up the Vault title, whilst Sugiyama, Sampson and Brigham Young Junior Raquel Willman tied for the honors on the Uneven Bars. Zurales picked up the Balance Beam title while Sugiyama also took out the Floor Exercise. Willman and fellow Junior Megan Bain were standout performers from Brigham Young, whilst for Oregon State University, Hailey Gaspar, Melanie Jones and Makayla Stambaugh were shining lights.

The NorCal Quad meet, held at The Event Center on the San Jose State University campus was won by Stanford University, with San Jose State finishing in second place with UC Davis beating out Sacramento State for third. Sacramento State Sophomore Kallilah McCartney won the All Around title over San Jose's Cami Guyer and Sacramento State Freshman Cassie Benning. Stanford Senior Nicole Dayton topped team mates Ivana Hong and Melissa Chuang for the Vault title, whilst on the Uneven Bars Stanford's Ashley Morgan tied with UC Davis' Michelle Ho for the title. Kristina Vaculik and Amanda Spinner both of Stanford tied for the Balance Beam honors, whilst San Jose State Junior Julia Greer took out the Floor title.

Ranzy Finally Arrives at LSU

An article from The LSU Daily Reveille, from Sunday, 19th of August has announced the arrival of former Oregon State Beaver Britney Ranzy to the campus. Check out the article below or at the following link: http://www.lsureveille.com/sports/gymnastics-transfer-gymnast-ranzy-finally-arrives-on-campus-1.2750419#.UDJCYKkgdM4. I am so excited to see what the Tigers bring to the competition this coming season, especially the new recruits!

She’s finally here.
After her unexpected absence from the LSU gymnastics team last spring, former Oregon State gymnast and transfer Britney Ranzy arrived on campus Wednesday, LSU Associate Sports Information Director Jake Terry confirmed to The Daily Reveille.
“I’m so excited to finally be here,” Ranzy said. “I’ve only been here since Wednesday, and I love it already. The weather, just being with the girls and then walking around and figuring out where I am on campus, I love it here.”
LSU announced Ranzy’s transfer in November and that she would join the team in January in time to compete for the Tigers in 2012 as a sophomore, but Ranzy conspicuously never showed.
Terry attributed her absence to a “personal situation” that required attention, and while she declined to provide the exact reason, Ranzy was clear that it involved an NCAA rule of which she was not aware. She also cited the desire to make the Olympic team.
“There were rules in the way, but I stayed home to mainly train for that reason, to make national team again. … I didn’t want to make anything worse, so I just said, ‘I’ll train and go to school and not worry about it,’” Ranzy said. “If I want to do it that bad, there’s always next year, because coming here was more important.”
Ranzy said that when she wasn’t studying in her room, she was on a treadmill or in the gym. Because she didn’t compete last season, she retains three years of eligibility and can compete immediately as a redshirt sophomore.
“Britney is very powerful and has a high skill level,” said LSU coach D-D Breaux in the original news release announcing the transfer. “The fact that she is coming in as a sophomore with experience at the collegiate level is something we are really looking forward to.”
As a freshman at Oregon State, Ranzy was named to the 2011 All-Pac-10 First-Team on the vault, where she won six titles in nine attempts, posted a career-best of 9.925 and won the NCAA Corvallis Regional vault and floor titles.
She also has international experience, finishing 14th in the all-around at the 2009 U.S. Visa National Championships with the U.S. Senior International Elite team.
Ranzy joins Canadian Olympic alternate Jessica Savona and Junior Olympic standout Randii Wyrick in the 2013 recruiting class.
LSU also added former Georgia head coach Jay Clark — who over 20 years, in several capacities, was involved in seven national championships with the Gym Dogs — as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. ESPNUnamed Clark college athletics’ ninth-best recruiter in 2011.
