Texas’s Frisco Arkansas Gymnastics has had a difficult few weeks, but these next three days will provide them a great opportunity to pick themselves up and demonstrate once more that they are among the top national programs. One of the most fruitful recruiting grounds for gymnastics in the United States, North Texas, is the starting point of the Razorbacks’ long weekend tour.
