    Thanks for bringing this in. Kayla isn't having much of a Merry Christmas.

    Kayla was behind Skye in her recovery so may as well fix whatever gets her right. I had already crossed her off for the 2025 season.

    Skye is a bit different as she is progressing on schedule for recovery from her around July 1, 2024 surgery to repair her torn Achilles tendon. The problem as I see it is will UF give Skye a medical clearance to perform on bars and beam if she is ready by midseason? The second part of the problem is should UF allow Skye to burn a year of eligibility to perform on half of her usual events?

    If I'm CJR, there is no way I would allow Skye to be a partial performer in 2024 plus risk reinjury if she is brought back too soon.

    UF will compete for the national championship in 2025 with the 16 gymnasts we have. The Gators are good enough to beat everyone they face. Failing that, get the NQS score high enough, the higher the better, to be taken seriously by all of college gymnastics.

    With Kayla and Skye in 2026 plus what UF has coming back and coming in, UF is a national champion. With these two gymnasts, this would be my overriding goal.

    Daggunit! Winning a natty in NCAA Gymnastics is never an easy task, or sure thing. There's too many variables. Even when everything is going well, and the team has managed to escape the injury bug, there's the pressure. JUst look what happened last year...
    Going into the 2023 season, Oklahoma was the defending NCAA champion, had a record-breaking NQS score of 198.355, and the heavy favorite for a three-peat. Most gymnast enthusiasts and experts would agree that the Sooners insane scoring was not possible in college gymnastics. A ridiculous season high score of 198.950? That's a missed stick landing away from 199.000. Most gymnast enthusiasts and experts would also agree that Oklahoma's stunning collapse in the semis thus failing to reach the Final Four was also unfathomable. It was one of the greatest collapses, not only in college gymnastics but across all team sports in NCAA Championships history. Through eleven regular season meets, plus their conference championship and two regional meets, Oklahoma had a total of four (4) falls. In the semis, they had five (5) falls. That's a season's worth of falls-plus one additional-in a single meet. The Sooners were the most dominate team all season. How dominate were they? If all the lowest scores that were dropped from each routine in each meet were by the same gymnast, her NQS would've been 39.365, the 49th highest NQS in the nation. Oklahoma's lowest-scoring meet before their epic meltdown was 197.775. After that “low point” they rebounded to score 198.05 or higher for eleven consecutive meets up until the semis, where the team found themselves in an unfamiliar position, and were unable to recover.
