Mizzou to the Lou Quad

Mizzou gymnastics opens its 2027 season hosting Big Ten opponents Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. The event returns after a one-year absence from the schedule and serves as the first official competition of the Tigers' season. This is the third appearance at The Family Arena. Mizzou posted a then-season-high 197.475 in a second-place finish at the 2024 Mizzou to the Lou quad against Florida, Illinois and Lindenwood, a meet in which Mara Titarsolej recorded the first perfect 10.000 on uneven bars in program history in front of 5,995 fans. The Tigers returned in 2025 and won the Zou to the Lou quad with a 197.150, topping Alabama, Illinois and Iowa behind a 49.725 on floor exercise, the program record at the time, and a perfect 10.000 on floor from senior Kennedy Griffin (Strongsville, Ohio). MU returns 11 members from its 2026 squad, which made its sixth-straight NCAA Championship Regional Final and finished the season ranked No. 11 nationally.
