In the Gators’ Last Meet:
It took contributions from all the Gators to take a narrow team win at the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional. Florida claimed its 22nd NCAA Regional team title at 197.70, while host No. 11 Alabama grabbed the other advancing position at 197.675. No. 6 California was third (197.575) and No. 14 Oregon State rounded out the results at 196.875.
The 0.025 margin equals Florida’s narrowest NCAA Regional win since edging Georgia 195.75 – 195.725 in Lexington, Ky.
Florida started the April 6 final with a solid bars set, posting the day’s high of 49.55 on the event. Three Gators led with marks of 9.925 – Alyssa Arana, Skye Blakely and Riley McCusker. Selena Harris-Miranda also turned in a 9.9.
Florida then moved to balance beam, hitting all routines but a few bobbles held back the scoring potential. Harris-Miranda was the only Gator to reach 9.90. Arana and Victoria Nguyen also posted 9.875s.
Three Gators posted floor exercise marks of 9.9 or better toward its total of 49.50. Leanne Wong led at 9.95 to share the day’s floor title. Nguyen opened and Taylor Clark anchored the lineup with 9.9s.
Florida took a two-tenths lead into the final rotation and needed every bit to hold off the Tide finishing on floor.
The Gators closed the meet on vault, posting the day’s high of 49.35. Anya Pilgrim led off the lineup with a 9.9, which was matched by Wong. Those 9.9s shared the day’s win for vault. All other Gator vault marks were 9.85s.
Wong’s two titles (vault, floor) moves her into sole possession of No. 4 at 88 on Florida Career Wins Chart.
