FORT WORTH, Texas — Cassie Stevens said it back in the beginning of January: “Well,” she shrugged on a sunny day back in Auburn, “our team goal is to be there on the final night of the national championships, so…
The final night is here. And so is Auburn.
Together the team has electrified fans and re-written the school record books. Auburn posted nine of the program’s 10 best team scores ever this season, and doubled the number of perfect 10’s recorded by Auburn gymnasts. They made memories surging through the regional semifinal, the regional final and the national semifinal.
And while the Tigers had their eyes set on the national final as a team goal even going back to the preseason, underdog Auburn wasn’t a favorite to make it. Auburn was ranked No. 14 in the preseason WCGA coaches’ poll. But the team has conquered challenge after challenge in the postseason. Auburn was the second of two teams to advance out of the regional semifinal, but came back in the regional final to beat out Kentucky on the way to nationals.
