Kentucky continues to punish SEC opponents with win over Arkansas

Lexington, KY

It was another record-breaking night as the no. 11 Kentucky women’s gymnastics team defeated SEC rival no. 14 Arkansas 197.875 to 195.400 on Friday night at Memorial Coliseum. The Wildcats set a new program record even with injury setbacks occurring.  Starting off, the vault saw a number of personal bests either being tied or broken and the 9.950 for Arianna Patterson drew the high score for the apparatus.  As the Cats moved over to bars, the road highs were again equalled by 3 members of the squad. Magnelli’s huge 9.950 on beam helped the Cats stay in the meet after sophomore Jillian Procasky was injured during her routine and was unable to finish.  A strong finish on the floor with four of the six routines posting 9.900 or higher and saw Makenna Clarke set in for the injured Procasky.
