All nine SEC teams qualified for the conference’s signature meet. UF will compete in the evening session at 8 p.m. It is a truly loaded class, as in it is the top four teams in the country in the Road to Nationals rankings – Oklahoma, LSU, Florida and Alabama.
In the last two meets, the Gators have proved it can hang with those top dogs. Florida generated the nation’s top two scores. First was a 198.450 in an upset win at No. 2 LSU on senior night. Five days later, UF took its show up the road to Lexington and a 198.575 at Kentucky.
Those two marks combined for the fourth-highest between two meets in NCAA history, and the top not from a school named Oklahoma.
It wasn’t enough to surpass the Sooners and Tigers in the rankings, but Florida is peaking at the right time and hungry to win its lucky 13th SEC title.
