The University of Minnesota men's gymnastics team came away with its highest score of the season Friday night in Brockport N.Y.
The Gophers scored 347.4 while the Air Force Academy scored 341.1 and the hosting Brockport club team scored 299.5.
"It was a really good meet," Minnesota head coach Mike Burns said. "We started out a little slow, but we came back and had several great events down the stretch."
While the Gophers are celebrating a season-high score, the Brockport team comes away feeling good knowing they had a strong showing and its 299.5 score was a team record.
"They put on a really good show," Burns said of Brockport. "We're happy to come out there and support their program."
Minnesota had several strong scores throughout the meet, many of which were provided by Ross Cameratta who continues to be an all-around force for the Gophers. However, the highlight of the meet came when Zack Chase and DJ Repp finished out Minnesota's scoring of the evening by putting up 16.1 and 16.2, respectively, on the vault.
"Overall everything went very well," Burns said. "It was nice to be able to be seen by East coast judges and get some exposure to those that will be judging at the NCAA Championships."
