2025 Gator Gymnastics - National Title Contender

[ocalaman]

The season starts Friday, Jan. 10 with a Quad Meet at Exactech Arena on SEC+ at 6:45 PM. The pre-season #3 Gators host #11 Michigan State, #23 Nebraska and North Illinois. Florida suffered a couple of key injury losses to potential All Americans Kayla DiCello & Skye Blakely, who both suffered ruptured achilles' tendons during last summer's Olympic trials. But even with those devastating losses, the team has enough talent to still compete for SEC and NCAA titles. Here are links to their full schedule and roster:

I believe UF coach Jenny Rowland also appeared as a gymnast in the 1986 movie, American Anthem, with Mitch Gaylord and Janet Jones(Gretzky) as lead actor/actress, or did I read that wrong? Her maiden name is Ester.

We underperformed on the uneven bars and our best gymnasts, Leann Wong, scored 6th in both the florr and beam, thus we lost by .100 to defending national champs LSU at their place. This team still is one of the best in the nation and can win the national title.

No. 7 Florida Nipped by a Tenth at No. 2 LSU - Florida Gators
