Kentucky Seeded No. 3 for 2024 SEC Gymnastics Championship

LEXINGTON, Ky. – No. 6 Kentucky gymnastics will compete in the evening session of the upcoming Southeastern Conference Gymnastics Championship, the conference announced on Monday. The Wildcats are the third overall seed for the second consecutive year.

Last season was the first time in program history that the Cats saw a No. 3 seed while also making the evening session for the first time since 2019.

Kentucky closed out another record-breaking regular season with a 197.925 overall score on the road at the Kidney Care Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Champions last Saturday in Nashville, Tenn. The top mark was the highest road score recorded in program history and third best overall.

The Cats have rewritten the record books multiple times this season setting new program record meet scores. UK recorded a 197.950 against Georgia early in the season topping the overall program best. However, Kentucky did not stop there, breaking that record at home against Florida scoring a 198.100.

In addition to those record breaks, Kentucky has also set new standards on each apparatus with new highs or current best ties. This does not include the numerous individual records that have been set or broken as well.

Seeding for the SEC Gymnastics Championships is based on final regular-season Team National Qualifying Scores (NQS).

The 2024 SEC Gymnastics Championship will take place on Saturday, March 23 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, La. Session I will feature seeds 5-8 at 3:30 p.m. EST, and Session II will feature seeds 1-4 at 8 p.m. EST. Both sessions of the championships will air live on SEC Network.
