SUU Gymnastics Meet

       History in the making occurred last Friday in the Centrum Arena on SUU Campus. Besides the obvious fact of the the SUU Gymnastics (nationally ranked 20th) team upsetting UCLA (currently 5th) to beat the current national champions with a total score of 194.750 to 194.425.
       However, my first post of this hopefully successful blog is of an observation I made during this epic meet. The Centrum Arena was filled with over 5,000 people for an athletic event, which again is an impressive feat. Those 5,000 people (community, staff, and students) did a full wave all the way around the arena.....3 TIMES!
       Congratulations SUU Gymnastics but also congratulations Cedar City for accomplishing something of tremendous importance in the sports fans history at SUU.
       I would surmize that this may have been the most people ever to do the wave on SUU Campus. I believe this is a worthy post to begin a semesters worth of observations. Come with me on a journey.
