Meet Preview: Gophers Host Ohio State, Nebraska for Senior Day
3/11/2020 3:42:00 PM | Men's Gymnastics
The Minnesota men's gymnastics team is back at Maturi Pavilion for its final home meet of the regular season Friday, March 13.
The No. 10 Gophers take on the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 6 Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7 p.m. The meet is one of Minnesota's four regular season Big Ten meets as the Gophers look to defend their 2019 title. The home team is currently 1-1-0 in conference, while Ohio State is 1-2-0 and Nebraska is 2-1-0.
It's also Senior Day at the Pavilion, and the Gophers will honor two-time team captain Timmy Kutyla post-meet. Kutyla has been an integral leader in his four years at Minnesota and is having an impressive senior campaign. He's earned eight podium finishes and two event titles through seven meets and has set new career high on both of his events, parallel bars (14.200) and high bar (14.000).
He was a member of the 2018 team that finished in a program-best runner-up position at NCAAs, was a 2019 Big Ten high bar finalist, and a three-time letterwinner. Kutyla is also a two-time Academic All-Big Ten and CGA All-American Scholar Athlete selection.
The meet will be streamed on BTN+ and live stats will be provided. Fans can also follow the Minnesota men's gymnastics Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages.
