Get ready to cheer because Clemson Gymnastics Team Two, with Coach Amy Smith leading, is hitting the stage tonight at the Sprouts Collegiate Quad in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! Tune in to the ACC Network at 9:00 PM EST to catch the Tigers as they start on Beam. After an incredible inaugural season, where fans filled Littlejohn Coliseum for every meet, Clemson is back and ready for it all again. Last season, the Tigers were ranked 8th in the nation for total home attendance, with an outstanding 42,542 fans rallying behind Team One. This year, they're counting on your support to make Littlejohn Coliseum one of the most electrifying home environments in the country. Don't miss the first home meet against the Pitt Panthers on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST.

History vs other Teams:

The Tigers are set to face off against three quality opponents: Michigan, NC State, and Arizona. Clemson battled ACC rival NC State last season, with NC State narrowly winning the first meet 196.300-195.600. The Tigers were neck and neck with the Wolfpack, but Beam made the difference as NC State edged out Clemson 48.850-47.875 in that event. In a rematch at NC State, the Wolfpack took all four events, securing a 197.575-196.000 victory. At the ACC Championship Quad Meet, Clemson claimed second place to the Wolfpack 197.550-196.425. As Clemson enters only its second year of competition, the Tigers have no history yet with Michigan or Arizona.

This Clemson squad is roaring back with a stacked lineup, featuring AAI Award Nominee Rebecca Wells, ACC Rookie of the Year Lilly Lippeatt, and Brie Clark, who dominated five floor events last season. Clemson lost just one member to graduation, Kaitlin DeGuzman. This team is poised to be major contenders not just in the ACC, but they have the potential for greatness this year. It all starts tonight. Don't miss it!
