Support Red/White in Flippin' Birds' Preview

Published: January 03, 2014 | Read Time: 1 minutes

Southern Utah University Gymnastics will host its annual Red/White Preview on Monday, January 6, giving fans their first look at the 2014 Flippin' Birds. The event is free and is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. in the Centrum Arena.

"This is always a great way to get our season started," head coach Scott Bauman said. "We have a lot of new faces this year and it will give each of them a chance to compete in front of a loud fan base and really prepare them for the season."

The meet will be the first collegiate competition for more than half of SUU's roster as the 2014 squad includes seven true freshmen and three redshirt freshmen. In addition to youth, SUU also has a solid core returning that includes redshirt senior Alyssa Click, five juniors and three sophomores.

The meet will also aim to answer fans' questions about the sport and provide insight and information about what to look for during the season. The evening will be a condensed version of what fans will see during the year as only four routines will be counted towards the team score on vault, bars and beam and only three routines will be counted on floor.

Following the meet, fans are encouraged to pick up a signed poster of the 2014 Thunderbirds in the west concourse of the Centrum Arena.
