Higher heights: Florida gymnastics bolsters No. 1 ranking on Senior Night
Share this story
The No. 1 Florida gymnastics team has spent its 2021 season barreling toward a possible national title, catapulting to higher heights while drawing inspiration from any of many sources. On Senior Night last Friday, the Gators shined again with their highest team score of the season suggesting a ceiling that has not yet been reached.
Trinity Thomas scored two perfect 10s, the Gators set another new team record for beam score, and the program clinched at least a share of the SEC regular season title for the third straight season, easily downing Auburn, 198.275 to 197.025.
Special report on the Florida Gators gymnastics:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The top-ranked Gators stepped up to the challenge for missing teammates, winning tonight’s dual meet 197.50 – 196.875 over No. 15 Kentucky Friday in front of physically-distanced sellout Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center crowd of 2,182.
COVID-19 protocols presented a challenge for Florida tonight. Gator gymnasts who performed eight routines in last Friday’s win at No. 2 LSU – Sydney Johnson-Scharpf, Nya Reed, Savannah Schoenherr and Trinity Thomas – were sidelined tonight due to COVID 19 tests and contact tracing. That COVID 19 protocol circle also included Gator coach Jenny Rowland and Volunteer Coach Jeremy Miranda.
The number one ranked Florida gymnastics team entered its meet against the number 15 Kentucky Wildcats amid uncertainty; earlier on Friday, the team had announced that multiple people involved with the team were ruled unable to attend the meet due to COVID-19 protocols. In a meet just one week after their headline-stealing win against LSU, the Gators topped the ‘Cats, 197.500-196.875.
Losses due to COVID
The COVID restrictions that were announced prevented a number of both coaches and players from attending the meet at the O’Connell Center. Included were Gator head coach Jenny Rowland, Assistant Coach Jeremy Miranda, and a plethora of gymnasts: juniors Sydney Johnson-Scharpf, Nya Reed, Savannah Schoenherr, and Trinity Thomas. The four gymnasts accounted for almost 80 of the Gators 198 points in their last meet against LSU.
