NCAA Gymnastics

This past weekend was might have been arguable the most competitive gymnastics championship ever. The mens team final started Friday night with a huge upset. The University of Illinois beat the top seed Oklahoma to win their first team title since 1989. On the women's side of things the No.2 team Oklahoma did not even make it to team finals. The teams that progressed to the Super Six were Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Stanford, Utah and UCLA. The battle was extremly fierce with only .5 seperating first through fifth place. Alabama was able to sneak past No. 1 seed Florida to take the back-to-back championship. The scores were, Alabama 197.85, Florida 197.775 and UCLA 197.725. A few uncharacteristic landings and a fall by Florida helped Alabama take the title. Although the Gators did not leave Georgia totally empty handed. Freshmen Kytra Hunter won the coveted All-Around title Friday night. Soaring past many competitors in the SEC.
