Welcome back, fans sent off the LSU gymnastics team to
Texas to compete at the NCAA Championship.
Now some of those fans traveled as far as Nebraska.
NBC Local 33 Anna Kaneo has a look at their
send off.
Guarantee we're going to compete hard in route to try
to win their first ever National Championship title.
The LSU gymnastics team gets sent off by fans as
they head to the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics Championship in Fort
Worth,
TX.
Fully equipped fans with posters,
gold and purple gear, some even traveling thousands of miles
to show their full tiger spirit,
like Brenda Caston's. I live in Nebraska,
I came down for the week and I've been at
pretty much every sporting event since Thursday,
so I'm a huge, I'm a tiger,
Kasten says. It's important to show all sports and team
support,
especially those that are female dominant.
These young women, they work just as hard,
if not harder than than,
you know, the other teams,
and I just think it's important to give them the
recognition that they deserve and to support them all the
way through the season and through the championship.
Gymnastic supporter GAIL Gagnier says she is sad to not
be able to make the trip to Texas and says
she usually attends the championship,
this first miss in 10 plus years.
For now, both fans plan on supporting the team for
miles away,
but sends them a message as they get ready to
compete.
Go Tigers, do your normal stuff and we will be
champions.
Stay strong. You've got this.
You've been doing great all season.
Just keep up the great work in Baton Rouge.
