starts Bama's bars at 9.80 There was so much excitement and a little melodrama mixed in at the end of another great SEC Championship competition. Alabama (197.325) looked like they were ready to claim Title #6 only to see the GymDawgs (197.350) reclaim it from the Florida Gators (197.325), who were victorious in 2007 and the defending conference champions. Alabama finished in an impressive 2nd Place tie with the talented Gators and no doubt will review the film and to see where just one step or balance check will need correcting before heading to Regional competition in the next two weeks. In the meantime, hats off to freshman for her outstanding efforts on bars (9.85), floor (9.90) and vault (9.925) in her first SEC Championship as well as the sophomore 1-2-3-4 punch line-up of (39.300 AA), (39.575), (9.90 on beam, 9.95 on vault, 9.875 on floor) and (9.80 on bars, 9.90 on beam, 9.75 on vault). Senior leadership from on the bars (9.80) and floor (9.75) and junior pluck and grit from (9.85 on beam, 9.825 on vault) and (9.80 on beam, 9.825 on floor) helped to secure an outstanding finish in this highly competitive meet that should prepare them well for regionals.
- Note: We will post photos and videos for this meet in a few days...
