Special report on the Florida Gators Gymnastics:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida is No. 3 on the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches preseason poll, released today by the NACGC.
The top five 2019 preseason poll positions mirror the 2018 NCAA Super Six team final results – No. 1 UCLA, No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 3 Florida, No. 4 Louisiana State and No. 5 Utah.
Florida’s been among the nation’s preseason top five every season since 2007 (2007: 3rd; 2008: 2nd; 2009: 3rd; 2010: 4th; 2011: 3rd; 2012: 3rd, 2013: 3rd; 2014: 1st, 2015: 1st, 2016: 2nd, 2017: 5th; 2018: 2nd; 2019: 3rd).
The first eight Florida opponents rank among the preseason top 20, including home dates versus No. 7 Georgia (Feb. 22), No. 10 Kentucky (Jan. 25) and No. 14 Auburn (Feb. 8). The Gators face half of the top six preseason teams on the road – No. 2 Oklahoma (Feb. 1), No. 4 LSU (Jan. 18) and No. 6 Alabama (Feb. 15). Other preseason ranked Gator opponents include at No. 12 Arkansas (March 1) and the 2019 season opens Jan. 11 with a home meet versus No. 19 Missouri.
The Gators in 2019:
Florida returns four with 11 All-America honors earned in NCAA competition – Alyssa Baumann, Alicia Boren, Rachel Gowey and Amelia Hundley. Two of those All-Americans are also defending Southeastern Conference event champions – Baumann (balance beam) and Boren (floor exercise).
Joining the Gators are six freshmen, including current U.S. Senior National Team member Trinity Thomas. Leah Clapper and Sydney Johnson-Scharpf also competed at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, with Johnson-Scharpf earning a spot on 2015-16 U.S. Senior National Team.
