No. 2 Florida Gymnastics at SEC Championship Meet
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Can the Gators gymnastics team collect another league trophy at the Southeastern Conference Championship meet? Top-seeded Florida looks to add to its regular-season trophy at the 2022 SEC Championships meet at Saturday's event in the Legacy Arena
The 41st edition of the Southeastern Conference Championships makes its seventh appearance in Birmingham, Ala., since the event moved to neutral sites starting in 2001. Nine of the 20 neutral site SEC meets were won by a team located in the state of the host city (Alabama 2021, 2014, 2011, 2003; Georgia 2008, 2005, 2004; Florida 2010; LSU 2019). Each SEC Championship since 2006 has been contested on podium.
With the addition of Missouri to the league in 2013, the format for the SEC Championships moved to two four-team sessions. Teams seeded No. 5-8 (based on March 14 national qualifying scores) compete in Saturday's opening session at 3:30 p.m. ET followed by seeds 1-4 at 8 p.m. ET. Scores from the two sessions combine to determine the team and event champions. As the evening session's top seed, Florida has the Olympic rotation (vault--bars-beam-floor).
All SEC programs enter the 20221 SEC Championships among the nation's top 25 - No. 2 Florida, No. 5 LSU, No. T6 Alabama, No. T6 Auburn, No. 9 Kentucky, No. 11 Missouri, No. 17 Arkansas and No. 22 Georgia. The Big Ten is next with seven among the top 25 and the Pac-12 has five top-25 teams.
Of the 20 team totals of 198.00 or better posted this season, nine came from SEC Championships meet second session teams - Florida (4), Alabama and LSU (2), Auburn (1).
