Maybe the 18-year-old isn’t old enough to feel pressure. Maybe she didn’t know she should. On the final rotation Saturday night -- the uneven bars -- Florida needed a 9.95 or better to win its third consecutive NCAA gymnastics title. All McMurtry did was execute her best routine of the season, earning a career-best 9.95 to propel the Gators a final score of 197.850 and the national championship. “I didn’t necessarily know what score I had to get,” McMurtey said. “I think that would have made it even harder for me so I knew I had a job to do and I knew my teammates had my back. Going last is sometimes a good position, sometimes a bad position, and we had five girls hit routines so I knew my teammates had my back and I just had to do my job. It all worked out for me and that was one of the best routines of my career.” “It’s amazing that she came out under this heavy pressure situation as a freshman and performed as well as she did everywhere,” Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said.“To anchor that bar lineup, to have that fight for every little thing, it’s not only amazing, it speaks volumes for what she will continue to bring to this team in the future, which is exciting.” Faehn had her back to the scoreboard and paid no attention to the other teams competing.

    Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Alabama squeezes by Florida, edges Gators, 197.850-197.775, for crown: The 2012 NCAA women’s gymnastics championships came down to the fi nal routine, just as Alabama coach Sarah Patterson expected. Patterson was confi dent because she had senior Ashley Priess set for that last routine. Priess closed Alabama’s decisive balance beam rotation with a 9.950 and the Crimson Tide edged No. 1 seed Florida to win its second consecutive cham- pionship April 21 at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.. Alabama won its sixth title by posting a score of 197.850 to beat Florida’s 197.775, giving the Southeastern Conference the top two spots in its Super Six showdown with the Pac-12. Entering the fi nal rotation, Florida led Alabama by only 25-thousandths of a point. The Gators scored a 49.40 on their fi nal routine, the fl oor exercise, and Alabama won with its 49.50 on the beam. ”I realized our scores had matched up with theirs pretty well and it was going to come down to that last routine,” Patterson said. Florida closed its fl oor routine with a 9.925 from all-around champion Kytra Hunter. ”I knew that Ashley was going on the balance beam, and I knew it came down to that routine,” Patterson said. If Priess knew the championship would be decided by her routine, she didn’t show any sign of pressure. ”There really was nothing in my mind that I have to stick this or I really need a good score,” Priess said.
