The Gophers nipped defend- ing champion Michigan, 420.35 to 418.15. Illinois finished third with 408.05 points, Wisconsin took fourth with 378.75 and: Michigan State wound up in fifthj place with 375.90. IT WAS THE eleventh gym- nastics crown for the Gophersl in the school's history and the! first since 1949. Winning with a score of 400 or more points en- ables the Minnesota team to travel to Philadelphia next weekend for the national gym- nastics championship. For Michigan, yesterday's re- sult ends the Olympic year sea- son on a disappointing note. Forj the seven Wolverine seniors, it: is a disappointing finish to sea-: son - long preparation for this meet - the chance to defend. their 1975 crown. "The seniors are very dis- appointed," Loken said. "We' were up against a team that1 was just super this weekend." Consistent is the adjective which best describes Minne- sota's performance. Led by the meet's two top all-around fin- ishers, Tim and Jeff LeFleur, the Gophers grabbed the lead early into the compulsory ses- sion Friday and never relin- quished it throughout the two- day affair. The Minnesota tum- blers scored 210.00 points in the compulsories and 210.35 in the optionals.
