Just like that, the 2020 NCAA Gymnastics season is over.

For most, this is the end of their competition season. For many seniors, this is likely the end of their career.

We didn’t know it, but last weekend, we witnessed the final six perfect scores of the 2020 season.

Let’s take a look back at these incredible performances.
