Payton Bellows,

Sydney Freidin expected. The trio of Arizona GymCat seniors battled injuries throughout their college careers. Then came a senior year that none of them were prepared for.
Friedin medically retired before the season started while her two teammates had their senior years radically altered by the pandemic. On Saturday, all three were honored at the conclusion of Arizona’s tri-meet against Southern Utah and Air Force.
Once again, things did not go perfectly as the GymCats came in second with 196.00 points. Southern Utah claimed first place with 196.150 points, while Air Force came in third with 193.175.
