We are back with our Alumni Conversations and we are starting off with a bang what to know WHO well the Beam QUEEN of 2025 herself Helen HU! She returned to the NCAA after a year off and was perfect literally as well as collect some much deserved hardware and really it was about time HU DAT was all THAT in the eyes of the judges. We are going to have a FULL OUT breakdown of this last cinderella year and get her impressions from the 10.0's to the championships to the Tatooe! We cover it all.

Hu DAT giving us that NATTY, Moores no more but she got her floor, an SEC Tiger advanced but not the one we all thought, Gantner the Closer again, Bowers bowed one last time with some nice hardware to show for it, BOOMER… SKELETON OR SPINE we’ll need to ask Zirbes we got it all let’s go!

We saw the final salutes for many of our alums this weekend and a future Alanta Falcons Cheerleader well she is HYPE  let’s go! 

4 Regionals, 4 Play Ins beginning Wed, 8 Semi Finals, 4 finals and that’s just to get to the NCAA Championships!
