GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida junior gymnast Selena Harris-Miranda is the Southeastern Conference Newcomer of the Year, the league office announced this afternoon. Harris-Miranda also is among the three Gators on 2025 All-Southeastern Conference or All-Freshman teams.

This is the first year the league recognized a SEC Newcomer of the Year in its annual awards. Harris-Miranda transferred to Florida this summer after competing at UCLA in 2023 and 2024, earning the final Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year honor. At Florida, Harris-Miranda posted the nation's second-highest all-around total (39.875) in the regular-season finale. She turned in three perfect marks this season, which included winning the SEC vault title with a 10.0.

Harris-Miranda and Leanne Wong earned All-SEC honors and Taylor Clark is part of the SEC All-Freshman team. The trio earned league recognition based on their standings in the March 17 Road to Nationals standings.
