BATON ROUGE - Freshmen Kailin Chio and Lexie Zeiss have become a crucial part to this 2025 LSU Gymnastics squad.

Chio has competed in the all around in both of LSU's meets this season. Her performances have earned her consecutive SEC Co-Freshmen of the Week honors.

In the Sprouts Collegiate Quad meet last week, Chio scored a 9.950 on vault, 9.900 on bars, 9.850 on beam and 9.925 on floor.

Zeiss only competed on the uneven bars in the first meet of the season. She scored a 9.800.

However, in the second meet, Zeiss was asked to step into the lead off spot on vault after KJ Johnson suffered a minor injury in practice.

In her first collegiate vault, Zeiss scored a 9.85 and set the tone for the rest of the rotation. She went on to score a 9.825, also in the lead off spot on bars.

Zeiss and Chio have proven to be big factors for LSU and will play a role in their success this season.
