No. 7 Missouri gymnastics has now earned a second straight historic win.

After earning the highest-ranked victory in program history over No. 2 Florida on Feb. 6, the Tigers then earned their first win at Kentucky in Lexington in program history, taking down the No. 25-ranked Wildcats in a 196.825-196.800 victory.

Missouri outscored Kentucky on both vault and bars to secure the narrow edge. The win puts Missouri at 6-3 on the year and 2-3 in conference play.

Missouri scored highs of at least 9.825 on all four events.

Sophomore Olivia Kelly notched a season-high mark of 9.875 on bars, while junior Hannah Horton earned a 9.925 mark.

On vault, redshirt senior Elise Tisler scored a 9.900, while three other Tigers earned 9.825 marks.

Horton was also the standout on floor, earning a 9.950 mark. On beam, sophomore Kaia Tanskanen earned a score of 9.800.

Missouri will next have a brief side step from SEC play, hosting the Mizzou Quad on Feb. 20, where the Tigers will compete against Illinois, Ball State and Air Force.
