Gymbacks Post Team, Floor Season Highs in Victory Over Redhawks
A change in the schedule didn’t faze the No. 8 Gymbacks at all on Friday as they came away with a 197.475-192.675 victory over SEMO.
Arkansas’ Friday team score is a season high and ties for the sixth-highest score in program history. The floor squad put on quite the show to close out the meet and notched an event score of 49.525, their best in the 2026 slate.
The Gymbacks won every event: Morgan Price on vault (9.900), Morgan Price and Leah Smith on bars (9.875), Joscelyn Roberson on beam (9.950), and Frankie Price, Roberson and Lauren Williams in a three-way tie on floor (9.925).
Morgan Price took the all-around crown with a score of 39.600, a new personal best. Hailey Klein came in second with a total of 39.350, also a career high. Allison Cucci placed third on the day with a 39.200.
Vault
Redshirt senior Cami Weaver made her season vault debut in the lead-off position with a 9.825 for her Yurchenko full. Smith and Cucci were up next and both added matching 9.875s. Klein delivered a 9.825 for her Yurchenko 1.5 in the fourth spot. After notching a 9.975 last time out, Williams went 9.875 for her 1.5 with just a small movement on the landing. M. Price put a bow on the rotation with an excellent 1.5 that went 9.900, and Arkansas finished vault with a 49.350 event score.
Bars
Klein started the bars lineup solidly with a 9.875 for the Gymbacks. Senior Cally Swaney then added a 9.750 up second. Smith swung confidently midway through the lineup and stuck her double layout clean for a big 9.900 score to pace Arkansas. Freshman Avalon Campbell went next and got a 9.775, and fellow rookie Cucci scored 9.750 in the five spot. Morgan Price yet again had a strong anchor appearance with a stuck dismount and added her second 9.900 score of the day. The Gymbacks recorded a 49.200 total on bars.
Beam
Arkansas’ beam team continues to impress and delivered its second consecutive 49.400 rotation on Friday. Sophomore Madison Gustitus kicked things off with a 9.825, and Klein matched it up second. Following a 9.700 from Cucci, Weaver had a redemption moment after a fall last week and scored 9.875, her season high. The incredible one-two punch of M. Price and Roberson stunned with two big routines in the fifth and six positions. Morgan went 9.925 for the second time in a row while Roberson scored 9.950 for the third straight week.
Floor
The Gymback floor squad looked to be in midseason form and saw scores build as the rotation went on. After a 9.825 from Klein at lead off, Morgan Price and Cucci notched 9.875s to cap off their all-around days. The back half of the lineup was showstopping as Williams, Frankie Price and Roberson all nailed their routines and scored back-to-back-to-back 9.925s. As of Friday afternoon, Arkansas’ 49.525 on floor is the third-highest in the nation so far this season.
