A Rare Break and Now On To LSU

College gymnastics sure isn't about achieving success overnight. Instead it is a test of endurance and stamina, it's about being the best at the end of the long journey. In order to prepare for the remainder of the season and the hectic schedule just ahead, the coaches backed off a little this week so that everyone could rest their legs while still improve in other areas.
