Arkansas Gymnastics Misses SEC Championships After Loss to Missouri

The No. 16 Arkansas gymnastics team concluded its regular season with a narrow loss to No. 7 Missouri, scoring 197.225 to Missouri's 197.800. Despite strong performances from several gymnasts, including Joscelyn Roberson who scored a 9.925 on floor, Arkansas finished ninth in the SEC's National Qualifying Score, missing out on the conference championship meet as only the top eight teams qualify. Coach Jordyn Wieber expressed disappointment in the scoring, feeling that several routines were undervalued. The Razorbacks' inability to secure a higher score left them with no chance to control their destiny for the final spot in the championships. Missouri's Helen Hu achieved a perfect 10 on balance beam, contributing to her team's victory. The loss marked an emotional end to the regular season for Arkansas, especially for its senior athletes.
