Black Excellence: Selena Harris-Miranda

This season, Florida gymnastics clinched its 13th SEC Championship, and its first since 2023. Undoubtedly, the Gators have been a team to be reckoned with, going 20-2 and 6-2 in the SEC. But they had a not-so-secret weapon.

Senior Selena Harris-Miranda, a UCLA transfer, came to Florida before her junior year. Though she was already a decorated gymnast, no one could have expected what awaited her as a Gator. 

Harris-Miranda is an 18-time All-American, scoring 10.0s on vault, bars and beam. She leads the Gators with 14 event titles. 

She earned the nation-leading all-around score with a 39.85 total against No. 2 Louisiana State March 8. With that, she also earned national gymnast of the week honors and her fifth SEC gymnast of the week honor in her career.
