Arkansas won’t have to worry about being left out of the SEC Gymnastics Championships moving forward.

The 2025 Southeastern Conference Spring Meetings concluded Thursday, with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey addressing several topics, including conference athletic directors approving including all nine SEC schools that sponsor gymnastics to participate in the SEC Gymnastics Championships starting in 2026.

After a season that saw the Razorbacks beat LSU and Florida – teams ranked No. 2 in the nation at the time of competition – during the regular season, Arkansas still ended up as the ninth place team in the SEC by National Qualifying Score (NQS) and was subsequently eliminated from competing at the conference championship meet. This, despite being the No. 16 team in the country at the time (the Razorbacks would finish No. 12 overall after the NCAA tournament). The team also lost out on an away meet score to potentially include in its NQS, which could’ve impacted postseason seeding.

With the addition of Oklahoma to the SEC gymnastics ranks, the conference changed the format of the meet for 2025, opting to leave one school – whoever finished last in the regular season rankings by NQS – out of the conference championship, including individuals. This decision faced backlash from fans, athletes, and coaches throughout the season, especially as Arkansas proved it was capable of wreaking havoc on the conference’s top teams.

Part of the hang up on having nine teams was the issue of having five teams in either the afternoon or evening session, which would mean adding a bye rotation and increasing the runtime of the meet by approximately 20-30 minutes – a potential obstacle for the meet broadcast as networks continue to try to optimize the viewer experience. According to Whole Hog Sports, the 2026 SEC Gymnastics Championships will see the bottom four teams compete in the afternoon session and the top five teams compete in the evening session.

“All nine [teams] will be invited,” Sankey said. “Noting just the high level of competition and the impact on some of the score opportunities, it’s important for all of us to compete together.”

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State men’s tennis player Ozan Baris collected All-America accolades from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) for the third-straight year.

ITA All-America honors are awarded to student-athletes that advanced to the round of 16 at the NCAA Individual Championships in November or finished in the top 20 of the final ITA singles rankings released last Wednesday, and Baris did both.

Baris has now earned ITA All-American honors in 2023, 2024 and 2025. He is MSU’s only multiple All-American recipient, now with three of the Spartans’ seven total All-America honors, joining Mashiska Washington (singles) in 1994, current MSU head coach Harry Jadun and John Mullane (doubles) in 2015, Max Sheldon (doubles) with Baris in 2023.

A junior from Okemos, Michigan, Baris earned First Team All-Big Ten accolades this spring, logging 23 overall singles wins this season, including 10 during dual action, in helping the Spartans reach the Round of 32 at the NCAA Tournament. Last fall, Baris was the NCAA Individual Championships National Runner-Up, falling to National Champion Michael Zheng of Columbia in the title match.

The Spartans ended their 2024-25 campaign at 17-10, concluding their season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. Overall, Michigan State was making its third appearance in the NCAA Tournament, first doing so in 2013. 

MSU’s 17-10 overall record gives the Green & White 40 wins over last two years, the most wins in back-to-back seasons since 2012-13, the Spartans’ previous NCAA Tournament trip when current head coach Harry Jadun was a sophomore student-athlete.
