Florida Gymnast Scores Perfect 10 in Record-Breaking Night

The Florida Gators gymnastics team didn't just win at Kentucky Friday night. They made history with a jaw-dropping 198.575 team score, the third highest in program history and 10th best in all of college gymnastics.

Senior Selena Harris-Miranda brought down the house with a perfect 10 on the balance beam, her routine so flawless that judges had no choice but to award the rare perfect score. The moment clinched a victory the Gators had already secured, but it transformed a great night into an unforgettable one.

What makes this even more remarkable is the team's sudden surge of excellence. Just five days earlier, Florida had posted what they thought was an incredible 198.450 against LSU. Before that, they hit a 49.800 on beam at Texas Women's University.

Those three meets represent the three highest beam scores in Florida gymnastics history. All achieved in just three weeks.

The Gators started strong and never let up. They opened on bars with four consecutive 9.950 scores from Skye Blakely, Kayla DiCello, Harris-Miranda, and Riley McCusker. That 49.725 set the tone for an evening where every rotation seemed to outdo the last.

Teammate eMjae Frazier had already scored a 9.975 on beam earlier in the rotation. When Harris-Miranda stepped up for the final performance, the energy was electric.

Harris-Miranda also won the all-around competition for the second straight week with a 39.775, barely edging out Blakely's 39.750. The friendly rivalry between teammates pushed both to their best performances of the season.

Why This Inspires

This team's trajectory shows what happens when talent meets momentum. The Gators aren't just good, they're getting better every single meet. Each performance builds on the last, with athletes feeding off each other's energy and excellence.

College gymnastics often gets overlooked, but these young women are performing at levels that would make Olympians proud. They're rewriting what's possible for their program while still balancing classes, training, and the pressure of competition.

The Gators finished their regular season 12-2 overall and 6-2 in SEC play, heading into the SEC Championship on March 21 in Tulsa with serious momentum and sky-high confidence.
