Florida’s gymnastics team will be competing for a national championship — their first since 2015 — at the NCAA Championships on Saturday.
They’ll also take to the various apparatuses in Fort Worth knowing exactly how fortunate they are to be getting to perform on the last day of this season.
In their first NCAA semifinal as a team since 2018, the Gators finished with a 197.4375 —behind Michigan (197.8625), and well below their ceiling, but ahead of California (197.3625), and Minnesota (197.1875) and thus enough to power the Gators to the final.
For the Gators, the highlight rotation was definitely floor, where five Gators scored over 9.
