No. 3 Gators Among Top-Ranked Teams at SEC Championship Meet
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | Gymnastics
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — No. 3 Florida is among a stacked field contending Saturday in the 45th edition of the Southeastern Conference Gymnastics Championship meet.
Seven of the nation's top 10 teams come from the SEC, led by No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 LSU, No. 3 Florida and No. 4 Alabama. Also in the top 10 are No. 6 Georgia, No. 8 Arkansas and No. 9 Missouri. The 2026 championship marks the first time since 2007 the meet features the nation's top four teams.
All nine SEC teams will compete at the meet, split between two sessions at the BOK Center. Five teams will compete in the afternoon session, while the top four seeds - determined by the March 16 national qualifying average – make up the evening session. Scores from both sessions will be combined to determine the team and individual event champions. Florida, the evening session's No. 3 seed, will begin competition on balance beam.
This year's championship marks the event's first appearance in Tulsa and is the ninth city to host the meet since the conference moved the event to neutral sites in 2001. Every championship since 2006 has been contested on podium.

Top Teams on Each Event in Evening Session:
The Southeastern Conference Championships evening session should provide high-level competition throughout. Each rotation includes at least three teams with an event National Qualifying Score (NQS) among the top 5.
Florida Closes Regular-Season Action with Nation's Top Total:
On Friday the 13th, it was anything but unlucky for Florida.
For the second time of the week, Florida posted the nation's highest team total, delivering a 198.575 inside Kentucky's Historic Memorial Coliseum. The mark topped the Gators' 198.45 posted March 8 in a win against No. 2 LSU and replaces that total as the highest score in the country this season. The Wildcats posted their second-highest of 2026 at 197.225.
Florida powered to the total behind three UF season highs - vault (49.475), uneven bars (49.725) and balance beam (49.80) - in a performance that built momentum from rotation to rotation. That season high beam total included Selena Harris-Miranda's second 10.0 of the week on the event.
All events were won with marks of 9.95 or higher. Four Gators shared the bars win at 9.95 – Skye Blakely, Kayla DiCello, Selena Harris-Miranda and Riley McCusker. Harris-Miranda earned her third career beam 10.0 and shared the floor win with Blakely. The all-around title was won by a razor-slim advantage, as Harris-Miranda won her fourth title of the season at 39.775 while Blakely posted a collegiate-high of 39.75.
