In terms of college gymnastics, the Southesatern Conference is the premiere conference for the sport. This week, all seven SEC teams (five SEC schools do not gymnastics programs) are nationally ranked including Alabama (#4), Arkansas (#7), Florida (#8), Auburn (#9), Georgia (#10), Kentucky (#14) and LSU (#16).
Georgia's ranking is a little surprising because they are the four-time defending national champion, but they will get to prove themselves when they face Alabama in Tuscaloosa for a 7 p.m. meet that will be televised (on tape) on ESPN-2 on Sun., Jan 24. I think the Tide will win this one, but it will be very close!
Georgia's Courtney McCool (pictured) was named SEC Gymnast of the Week. She is a fomrmer national team member who is a senior.
Alabama's Ashley Sledge (pictured) was named SEC Freshman of the Week.
There are a full slate of SEC teams in action tonight, including Kentucky and LSU's participation in the Lady Luck Invitanational in Las Vegas which will also include Arizona State and Missouri.
Here are the other SEC meets, all of which are scheduled for tonight @ 7 p.m. (depending on the time zone of each meet). The Oklahoma Sooners, currently ranked number two, are not in the SEC:
Arkansas @ Florida- 7 p.m.
Oklahoma @ Auburn- 7 p.m.
Other major meets this evening include top-ranked UCLA at Washington as well as traditional powerhouse Utah's home meet with Iowa State. For live updates, check out www.collegegymfans.com
