FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is ranked No. 19 in the 2018 National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) preseason coaches poll announced Monday.

The Razorbacks tallied 872 points in the poll. In 2018, Arkansas will face off against nine top-25 teams, including road matchups against No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 Florida, No. 3 LSU, No. 4 Alabama and No. 17 Missouri.

The Razorbacks were tabbed as having the second hardest schedule in the nation by Road To Nationals.

All eight Southeastern Conference teams are ranked in the top 19 in the poll, including three in the top five.

Arkansas will face all seven other SEC teams this season, including No. 3 LSU in the season opener Jan. 5, 2018 in Baton Rouge.

Senior Amanda Wellick returns after suffering a season-ending injury in January of last season and missed what would’ve been her senior season.

She has since returned to the gym and is expected to be in Arkansas’ lineup this season.

Arkansas also welcomes back NCAA Individual participants Braie Speed and Jessica Yamzon.

Yamzon earned a spot at the NCAA Championships last season as a freshman, scoring a 38.925 in the all-around.

Speed posted a 9.825 on the vault at NCAA’s, tying her third-best score from last season.

The team will be in action for a free showcase at the first Holidays With The Hogs intrasquad meet this Sunday inside Barnhill Arena.

The meet will begin at 5 p.m. with doors opening an hour before at 4. More details can be found here.
