Gymnasts travel to Alabama for second straight link to pink meet. Highest rank dual meet #3 Florida versus #6 Alabama. Follow the action at 8:30 pm on the SEC network. Alabama always is a raucous crowd against Florida that attempts to unnerve the team. Expect a crowd of 10k plus.

Look for Kennedy Baker to compete in the AA after taking the last two weeks off. Do not miss the first rotation and Rachel Slocum's vault. The only one in the nation that completes a front handsprint-front pike with half twist. Most gymnast only do a full Yurchenko, although Alex McMurty does a double. Also looking forward to the power freshman Amelia Hundley and Rachel Gowey who are used to competing in front of international crowds and how they handle the volatile college atmosphere.

Wow a gymnastics post. Awesome. Let's go Gators! I'll be out on a date with the wifey tonight but I hope they do well. Gymnastics is a sport though where home field advantage is such a thing, with judges and all. I'll be pleasantly surprised if they win though.

As predicted, Bama has largest crowd of the season with over 14,000 in attendance. Bama goes on to break season marks on 3 of the 4 events to just edge out the Gators 197.825 to 197.425. Still all around solid score for the Gators on the road in front of a very hostile crowd. This was done despite shuffling the line-up during the meet. Can't wait to get Bama at the SEC championships in Jax later this year.

I'm sorry to hear that we lost and I'm glad that you posted this. However, in the future, maybe you could specify the sport in the thread title, heh? That would be helpful information as most won't assume or guess gymnastics.

Generally do, but most folks know I am always posting about Gator Gymnastics. I will next time.
