TUCSON, Ariz. -- As 2017 comes to an end, we are reviewing some of our favorite memories from this past year. Below are 10 of our most liked posts from Twitter and Instagram over the year. Be sure to follow along and be a part of moments like these in 2018: Arizona Gymnastics Instagram / Arizona Gymnastics Twitter
10. Starting at number 10, this year we began a #TumbleTuesday segment where each week we would feature a different athlete on a different event. One of our top posts on Instagram came from Courtney Cowles' balance beam routine from our home meet against Arizona State University on March 5.
9. At number nine we have one of our top Tweets from the year, a photo of Maddi Leydin, Christina Berg, Courtney Cowles, and Adra Parks from our poster photo shoot at the beginning of the school year.
8. Coming in at number eight is an Instagram post from April 1, when the GymCats traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to compete in the NCAA Regionals. Courtney Cowles and Lauryn Mattson showed off the competition leo for that day, and the post earned over 750 likes.
7. Our number seven top post from the past year is when the Cats finished the Spring 2017 semester with the highest team GPA in history. Nine GymCats were named NCAA Academic All-Americans, five GymCats earned a 4.0 GPA, 12 of the 16 GymCats earned a 3.5 GPA or higher, and all 16 GymCats earned a 3.0 GPA or higher.
6. The next social media highlight from 2017 is an Instagram video of Haylie Hendrickson competing on the uneven bars at the Pac-12 Championships on March 18. The video received over 30,000 views and had six comments.
5. Coming in at number five, this past October the 2018 season poster went live via Twitter on Halloween, receiving 88 favorites and 25 retweets. The poster was wildly popular, and was even re-posted by NCAA Gym News.
4. At number four stands an Instagram post of Danielle Spencer competing on the uneven bars during a #TumbleTuesday segment. The video received 27,000 views and nine comments.
3. Our number three post from 2017 is a Tweet from March 20 when the Cats found out that they had been selected to attend the NCAA Regional competition in Lincoln, Nebraska as the number six seed. This tweet received over 200 favorites and 26 retweets.
2. An Instagram post featuring last year's six freshman (Maddi Leydin, Courtney Cowles, Christina Berg, Heather Swanson, Shannon Farrell, and Jenny Leung), was our top-liked post of the year. With almost 1,000 likes, we began our #GymCat101 segment. This particular post taught our viewers that during a gymnastic competition, six different girls will compete on each of the four events, but on the top five scores will count.
1. Lastly, our top social media post from 2017 comes from when the Cats defeated the Cal Bears at home in an upset. The GymCats earned their first 196.000 of the season and took down the number 15 ranked team. This win helped propel the GymCats into the number 23rd ranked team in the NCAA.
