Gators Sets Nation's 2025 High in SEC Home Opening Win Over No. 13 Georgia:
The nation's 2025 leading total gave then No. 3 Florida the win over No. 13 Georgia in front of 9,108 Jan. 24 at the Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.

Florida is the nation's first to pass the 198 mark this season, tallying a 198.125. Georgia's total of 196.825 Friday equaled its season best for the second consecutive week.

A Gator won at least a share of each event title Friday, including sweeping the all-around standings. Junior transfer Selena Harris-Miranda won her second consecutive all-around with a season-best 39.625. Senior Sloane Blakely was close behind at 39.60 and sophomore Anya Pilgrim took third (39.55) in her 2025 all-around debut.

The vault title was claimed by Harris-Miranda with a season-high 9.95. Freshman Skye Blakely shared her first uneven bars win at 9.90 with Pilgrim and Georgia's Ady Wahl at 9.90.
