Alabama's gymnastics squad, No. 4 in the country and the 3-seed in the SEC Championship, put together their strongest meet of the year, finishing in second place behind the Florida Gators this weekend in Little Rock.
Florida, the winner of the last three national titles, claimed its first SEC title since the 2013 season.
Alabama was exceptional on a night when scoring was quite erratic, particularly on floor and the vault. Florida, however, was practically-perfect. Still, the Tide was able to post a season high on the uneven bars, and tied a season high on the floor routine.
