Valiant effort by Arkansas earns 2nd-place finish in the first session; Florida wins championship.

Despite the loathsome tie, this was the Gym'Backs' best performance of the season and led to some individual recognition for awesomeness.

It was the best of times, it was re-crootin' times as the no. 22 Arkansas gymnastics team faced the no. 1 ranked-Florida Gators last night at Barnhill Arena's PINK Meet.

Arkansas claimed it's first victory of the gymnastics season with an upset of 11th-ranked Denver. MickiNickHarp covered the meet for us and filed this report.

The Gym'Backs lost their season opener but Gym'Back senior Katherine Grable won the all-around competition as best gymnast of the night.
