TAMPA, Fla. – A national title for sophomore Leanne Wong and a spot on the U.S. Senior National Team for incoming freshman Kayla DiCello highlighted Gators results in the final day of the 2022 OOFOS U.S. Gymnastics Championships held in the Amalie Arena.

She shared the U.S. Championships' uneven bars title with Shilese Jones as both totaled 28.45 on the event through the two days of competition.
