The Florida gymnastics team advanced to the 2024 Gainesville Regional Finals inside the O’Connell Center on Friday thanks to winning Session II with a team score of 197.925.
The Missouri Tigers were the runner-up after the Gators, which earned the two schools a shot at the regional title on Sunday. Both join the Utah Utes and Michigan State Spartans in Sunday’s regional championship.
A season-high five members of the Orange and Blue competed as all-arounders Friday. Leanne Wong was third overall at 39.65 and Victoria Nguyen was fourth (39.55), while Skylar Draser was sixth with a collegiate-best 39.50.
Four marks of 9.9 or better helped Florida amass the top total on the floor (49.475). Nguyen and Wong led the team with 9.925 with Sloane Blakely and Ellie Lazzari each earning 9.9s.
