FAYETTEVILLE — No. 10 Arkansas gymnastics begins its 2026 season at Minnesota on Saturday (4 p.m. Central, Big Ten Network+), and thanks to key gymnasts being back from injury, numerous veterans returning and some standout new additions, the Razorbacks look like a deeper and more well-rounded team than a season ago.
The 2025 season was heavily affected by injuries, many of them early. Floor exercise standout Lauren Williams missed all but the opening meet after having elbow surgery. Leah Smith, a vault and floor mainstay, missed all but five meets with an injury.
Frankie Price, another veteran floor star, suffered an Achilles injury at the NCAA regional semifinal.
