The Florida Gators gymnastics team is aiming for the NCAA gymnastics title after a disappointing season one year ago, following a loss to Missouri. The team had high expectations and were unable to advance to the final round due to a lack of progress. They resolved a resolution to not repeat the disappointment of last year's season, inspired by a 2008 speech by then-Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. The Gators' captain, Skylar Draser, suggested adopting "The Promise" as their guiding philosophy for the upcoming season, which includes accountability, unity, and a team mentality. This year, the team's depth of talent is unmatched, with six former national team members, including three world champions, and several potential individual titles. The No. 3-seeded team will face No. 2 LSU, No. 6 Georgia and No. 7 Stanford in the semifinal, with the top two teams advancing to the national championship.
