Pure Joy! Relive the unforgettable moments, stunning routines, and standout athletes at the 2026 SEC Gymnastics Championships!
The stars were out for an unforgettable SECs on Saturday! With an incredible fight to the finish, in a meet that was everything we expected, and so much more, the No.3 Florida Gators (198.175) captured the 2026 SEC Championship, flying from third place in the final rotation with an uneven bars effort for the ages to reclaim the conference trophy. No. 1 Oklahoma finished second with a 198.150 and No. 2 LSU captured third, recording a 197.950.
The Gators’ elation could be felt from start to finish as they put up championship routines alongside the Sooners, the Tigers, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Each team performed well and each team still has room for improvement heading into Regionals as we look ahead to Fort Worth and the 2026 NCAA Championships. It’s possible we saw a preview of that competition right here in Tulsa, as the excitement (and ultra-competitiveness) builds towards the title. And one thing is for sure, it’s about to be Game On!

WHAT THEY SAID:
On tonight’s meet:
“It’s a great day to be a Florida Gator! I couldn’t be more proud of the fight, grit and determination of this team tonight. They did it big. That’s what they’ve been doing all year long and everything just came together nicely with much ease, much confidence. They had a great time tonight.” – Florida Head Coach Jenny Rowland
On tonight’s win:
“It feels amazing. At first all I could do is cry then we were all screaming and jumping around. It just feels like the biggest accomplishment right now.”When we started the meet, I just knew everything was going to fall into place. Especially when we started on beam. The energy wasn’t too high or too low. It just felt like Florida territory the whole time we were here. That made everyone feel more at ease. Obviously, it ended up really good.” – senior Selena Harris-Miranda
On Florida’s performance tonight:
