Florida wins SEC championship, leaves Arkansas with first winless season

FAYETTEVILLE — No. 4 Florida extended its domination of the University of Arkansas in gymnastics and clinched the SEC championship on Friday with a convincing victory at Barnhill Arena.

The Gators (8-3, 6-1 SEC) won their 19th consecutive meet over the No. 20 Razorbacks with a 197.225 to 196.35 decision before a crowd of 3,016 on Gymback Alumni Weekend. Florida took sole possession of the SEC championship due to Auburn’s loss at Alabama.

Arkansas (1-10, 0-7) suffered its first winless conference season since the program got rolling in 2003 under Coach Mark Cook and his ex-wife Rene Lyst, who was part of the alumni celebration.
