Schreiber achieves perfection, Mizzou Gymnastics posts season-best team score
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
For the first time in her five-year Tiger career, Sienna Schreiber has earned a perfect score. Schreiber posted a perfect 10 on beam on Sunday night at the Hearnes Center, leading No. 13 Mizzou Gymnastics to a season-best team score. Despite those achievements, the Tigers did fall to No. 12 Arkansas 197.525-197.650.
You can watch the full press conference with Mizzou gymnastics coach Shannon Welker, Sienna Schreiber and Jocelyn Moore in the video player below.
Schreiber's flawless beam routine was a performance only matched by one other Mizzou gymnast on that apparatus. Lauren Schwartzman is the only other Tiger in program history to post a perfect score on beam, achieving that feat twice in 2004. Schreiber joins Schwartzman, Jocelyn Moore and Mara Titarsolej as the only Mizzou gymnasts to ever score a perfect 10.
The graduate student also posted three other great routines on Sunday night. Schreiber recorded a 9.875 on vault, 9.850 on bars and a 9.925 on floor, earning her the all-around title at the team's meet with Arkansas. Individually, Schreiber won the beam title and also won a share of the vault title, alongside her teammate Amari Celestine.
Mizzou's Hollyn Pratick finished in a two-way tie with Arkansas' Maddie Jones for the bars title, scoring a team-best 9.925. That routine yielded Patrick's highest score of the season on that apparatus. Jocelyn Moore and true freshman Kennedy Griffin also earned a share of the floor title, ending the meet in a three-way tie with Arkansas' Lauren Williams with a 9.950 score.
Up next - Shannon Welker's crew will host a quad meet with No. 11 Denver, New Hampshire and SEMO on Sunday, March 10, starting at 1 p.m. Not only is that Mizzou's final home meet of the season, it will also be senior night.
