Hey everyone! My name is Meg and I'm a student Ambassador at Centenary. I am also a member of the Centenary gymnastics team and we had quite the weekend this past weekend! This past Friday was supposed to be our final home meet of the season and Senior Night to honor our seniors. Unfortunately due to the weather all of the judges for the meet were unable to make it, and we were forced to cancel the meet. But since it was supposed to be a special night for the seniors the team decided to do an impromptu intrasquad meet called the Senior Spectacular. Instead of having real judges we invited some of our supporters on campus to judge. We had President Rowe, Athletic Director Dave Voskuil, Dr. Henderson, swim Coach Joe Ferguson, and mid way through the meet our Provost Mike Hemphill as our guest judges for the night. Dr. Rowe got really in to it and came out wearing a crazy maroon and white wig. It was hilarious!
Because of the weather we were unsure how many people would show up to the meet, but the stands were full of students, faculty, and people from the community. It was so amazing to see how many people from the Centenary community were willing to brave the icy weather conditions to support us. There was a handstand contest, cartwheel contest, and biggest fan contest for the crowd to participate in while we were warming up, and by the end of the night the entire crowd was on their feet clapping and cheering for the seniors' final floor routines. It was the best crowd we've had this year!
Even though it started out as a bad situation with a cancelled meet we were able to turn it around and with the support of our fans have a great night honoring our seniors!
