LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 9 nationally-ranked Kentucky Gymnastics team will compete at the SEC Championships in Birmingham, Ala. on Saturday at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC. The SEC announced last Monday that the Wildcats will compete in the first session as an overall five seed.

Gymnasts Anna Haigis, Josie Angeny and Cally Nixon were among multiple Wildcats who hit new high marks on their respective events.
UK will compete Saturday against Georgia, Arkansas and Missouri during Session I with Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Alabama in the evening for Session II.
