The Gophers men's gymnastics alumni — for the 51st consecutive meet — beat the varsity team 413.4 to 405.5 at Maturi Pavilion. "It's a great event to get the season started. Obviously the alumni come in and they're having a great old time," head coach Mike Burns said. Alumnus Ellis Mannon (2015 graduate) won the all-around competition with an 84.900. Nathan Fortunato (2014) followed with an 83.700 and freshman Shane Wiskus finished third with a 79.100.• Freshman Lexy Ramler, of St. Michael, won all four events in the Gophers women's gymnastics intrasquad meet. She averaged 9.806 per event.
