On a Roll

The Gators have been non-stop this 2022 season. They continue to stun their opponents with every meet. An undefeated record leads the Gators with high hopes for this upcoming matchup.

In their annual Link to Pink meet against Arkansas last week, the Gators racked up 198.25 points, the highest total of the season in all of NCAA Division I gymnastics.

Trinity Thomas added to her list of perfect scores with another 10 on the balance beam. She becomes the first gymnast to accomplish this score in this event during the 2022 season. Thomas’s performance during this meet won her the title of SEC Specialist of the Week for the third consecutive week in a row.

The Gators look to bring this energy and performance to Columbia this weekend.
