TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona gymnastics schedule for the 2020 season has been released. Arizona will host six home meets and two meets will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
 
"We are very excited about the 2020 schedule and feel the competitive challenges will make us grow as a program," head coach John Court said. "Competing in front of 13,000 at LSU, facing teams from the Big 10, Big 12, and other teams that have qualified for last year's Sweet 16 will benefit our student athlete's experience. The Pac-12 is an amazing conference for gymnastics and we look forward to hosting six home meets in McKale and welcoming everyone to Tucson."
 
The GymCats first home meet of the season will be a quad meet with Western Michigan, Iowa State, and Rutgers (Jan. 11). This will kick off an exciting home season where Arizona will compete against Oregon State (Jan. 25), Utah (Feb. 1), Stanford (Feb. 23), and end the season with a weekend hosting ASU (March 6) and a tri-meet against Ohio State and Bridgeport (March 8). Seniors Christina Berg, Courtney Cowles, Jenny Leung, Maddi Leydin, and Heather Swanson will be celebrated during their senior night meet which will be March 8 against Ohio State and Bridgeport.
