Kentucky Gymnastics releases 2023 home schedule
Kentucky Gymnastics has released their 2023 home schedule with the ‘Cats beginning back in action in January.
UK will kick off their season against SEC rival LSU on January 23rd in Rupp Arena for Excite Night. The ‘Cats defeated LSU in the 2022 season in Baton Rouge to close out the year with their highest score of the season yet. Kentucky will then host Alabama on January 27th at Memorial Coliseum before hosting non-conference Eastern Michigan on February 10th.
The ‘Cats will continue with conference competition against Arkansas on February 17th. To finish off the season, Kentucky will host rival Auburn on Senior Night on March 3rd before beginning postseason competition.
Tim Garrison will lead the Wildcats into his 12th season as head coach of the program after a very successful 2022 season. Kentucky is coming off of a historic stretch, finishing with a program-record score of 197.750 against Auburn, Georgia, and Southern Utah in the Auburn Regional semifinal during the spring.
The ‘Cats then fell short in the Auburn Regional final, placing third behind Auburn and Florida. Kentucky posted their first program win over Georgia in the 2022 season, a program-high team performance, and many personal bests for the ‘Cats.
Rising senior Raena Worley, specifically, had a historic season, scoring the highest floor score of any Wildcat since eight-time national champion Jenny Hansen. Worley also marked seven all-around titles this season and competed at the NCAA Individual Championships in Dallas earlier this year.
Worley, alongside Hailey Davis and Cally Nixon, represented Kentucky well with Worley finishing in the top 15.
Individual times for meets and television information will be released closer to the season start.
