The No 3. Florida Gators head north to Columbia, Missouri this weekend to take on the Missouri Tigers for their senior night and last home meet of the season.

Senior Cathryn Aliceaacosta, who is currently injured, and Mackenzie McGill, a consistent member of the beam lineup, will be recognized for their hard work and dedication to the Missouri Gymnastics program over the last four years.

With junior Rachel Updike out for the past two weeks, the Missouri team, especially freshman Angie Kern and Sasha Sander, have stepped up and contributed when needed most.

Last weekend against Arkansas, Missouri posted their highest team score on beam but know there is still room for improvement.

The Gators had an exceptional meet against West Virginia as they posted a season high of 198.325. They look to keep their momentum going as regular-season is coming to a close.

Florida’s Kytra Hunter looks to add to her list of perfect 10’s this season.  She is currently ranked 5^th in the All-Around, 6^th on Vault, and 4^th on floor.

Bridget Sloan is also once again topping the NCAA rankings, standing 1^st in the all-around and vault, 6th on bars, 7^th on beam, and 10^th on floor.

Other Gator gymnasts including Rachel Spicer, Mackenzie Caquatto, Bridget Caquatto and Alina Johnson all play a key role in this team’s incredible success and should be watched carefully during the post-season, as they hope to keep their title as national champions.

As the SEC championship and post-season quickly approach, both teams are looking to perfect their routines and construct strong line-ups for these important meets to come.
