Arkansas gymnastics heads on the road for its first SEC meet of the season Friday night, facing No. 3 Florida at Exactech Arena.

The Gymbacks enter the meet ranked sixth nationally and are coming off a season-high team score in a win over SEMO.

The Razorbacks have opened the season with two straight home victories.

Friday’s meet will offer a different challenge, with Arkansas stepping into one of the toughest road environments in college gymnastics.

Florida has controlled the series historically. The Gators hold a 53-4 advantage all-time and have never lost to Arkansas in Gainesville. The Hogs did earn a home win over Florida in 2025, posting a 197.175-196.625 victory.

That result still stands as one of Arkansas’ most notable wins under head coach Jordyn Wieber. Replicating it on the road will require steady routines and strong landings across all four events.

The meet is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and will air live on ESPN2. Samantha Peszek and John Roethlisberger will handle commentary, with Taylor Davis reporting from the floor. Live scoring will be available through Virtius.

Arkansas enters the meet ranked inside the national top 10 on vault, beam and floor. Florida is ranked inside the top 10 on every event except vault and leads the nation on uneven bars.

Road Meets Shape Season

SEC road meets play a major role in postseason positioning. Strong away scores help teams improve national rankings and provide separation heading into championship season.

Arkansas’ season-high performance against SEMO showed progress in execution and depth. Carrying that consistency into a hostile SEC environment is the next step for the Razorbacks.

Florida’s home crowd and experience create pressure on visiting teams. Clean landings and controlled routines will be essential for Arkansas to stay competitive through the final rotation.

The Gymbacks have shown they can compete with top programs. Friday’s meet offers another opportunity to measure growth early in the SEC schedule.

Arkansas will continue conference action following the trip to Gainesville, with each meet adding to its postseason résumé.

For the Razorbacks, Friday night isn’t about history. It’s about hitting routines, posting solid scores and proving they can deliver away from home.
