#2 LSU Gymnastics Travels to #24 NC State Meet Preview

Tomorrow, LSU will compete its last regular season road meet for the season. What we will see these last two weeks will be a little different than what we normally see. We likely won't see any all arounders. It is planned to rest Edney, Finnegan, and hambrick in a few areas. All will compete but in a limited role. Clark and DD have sketched up some possible lineups for this weekend. Who competes will come down to how warm ups look but expect to see some brand new routines.

NC State

Vault


This week LSU looks to continue to try to push the envelope on vault when it comes to 1 1/2's. Finnegan was training some 1 1/2s on vault this week, if its competed is still up in the air. Cannamela is expected to compete her 1 1/2 again to see if its improved this week. All week shes been very solid. Amplitude and rotation has never been an issue. Ruby is also expected to compete. She has improved her vault every week and looks to be on the brink for major scores. I would not expect to see Priessman tomorrow on vault, LSU wants to be cautious with her as we head into SEC championships


Bars

There could be a shake up here on bars tomorrow. LSU wants to throw in Kirby and Dean on bars, well that is the plan at least. Clark wants to put Dean out on this event tomorrow but we will have to wait and see. Erin also remains a possibility to compete on bars but I know LSU wants to work some of its freshman as they will be counted on next year on this rotation


Beam

LSU will look to throw in some new faces tomorrow as well. We are expected to see Dean perform her first beam routine of the year. Kirby could also be used in the middle of the lineup. Plan was to allow Priessman to compete on beam tomorrow but still is a question mark at the moment, she has done some nice routines in practice.


Floor


LSU plans to rest a lot of people on floor which will open up some opportunities. We should expect to see Edwards back on floor tomorrow. Desiderio is also slated to continue to pick up more competition experience. She has steadily improved on floor all season, LSU will need her as we enter post season. LSU has been lookin for an opportunity to throw out Campbell on floor. Tomorrow could be the opportunity to do so. Campbell's routine will be one people will really like, if you like artistry.
