Orange & Black Gymnastics Exhibition Set for Friday
November 19, 2019 | Women's Gymnastics
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State gymnastics fans have their first opportunity to watch the 2019-20 team in action at the Orange and Black Exhibition on Friday at 7 p.m. Admission is free and the team will sign autographs following the event.
"We always look forward to performing in Gill Coliseum," head coach Tanya Chaplin said. "It is such a good opportunity to get out of the gym and into a new arena environment to display our skills and new routines. These gymnasts love performing for the crowd and our Beaver Nation fans are special."
The format, as in years past, will feature two squad – Team Orange and Team Black – with gymnasts competing head-to-head on each event. After each pairing, guest judges will determine the winner and points will be awarded accordingly. Three to four pairings are expected on each event.
The panel of guest judges at each event will include media members that regularly cover Oregon State Athletics, OSU coaches and administrators and Oregon State student-athletes. The exhibition will be emceed by OSU public address announcer Brian Brooks and will include interaction with the judges between exhibitions.
The gymnastics team officially opens its season Friday, Jan. 3, when the Beavers travel to Lake Buena Vista, Fla. for the Critique Classic where they'll face Georgia and Iowa. OSU hosts its home opener the following Saturday, Jan. 11, when Seattle Pacific and Centenary visit Gill Coliseum.
Oregon State, which will chase its 46th straight postseason berth in 2020, also hosts duals against Stanford (Feb. 2), UCLA (Feb. 29), Washington (March 6) and Illinois (March 14). In addition, Arizona State and LSU will trek to Corvallis for a tri-meet on Feb. 8. To view the entire 2020 schedule, click here.
Coming off a 2019 season in which, the Beavers finished sixth in the nation, the squad returns four All-Americans in Halli Briscoe, Maela Lazaro, Isis Lowery and Kaitlyn Yanish. That quartet along with a total of eight seniors are expected to lead the team back to the postseason.
