Florida gymnast Leanne Wong joins an exclusive club. See her perfect 10 here
Leanne Wong entered an exclusive club Friday night.
The Florida gymnast scored a 10 on the floor in the Gators win over LSU Friday night.
Wong's perfect mark was her eighth career but first on the floor. This makes her the 15th member of the Gym Slam, joining fellow Gators Trinity Thomas, Alex McMurty and Bridget Sloan.
It was the second 10 of the meet after LSU's Aleah Finnegan collected one on floor the rotation before. For Wong, it was her second at home in a row. She tallied one on bars on Feb. 9 vs Arkansas.

The 10 also puts her a tie with Sloan for third all-time among Gators with the perfect score. She now trails McMurty (9) and Trinity Thomas (28).
The 10 was the equivalent of a buzzer beater in basketball as it came on the meet's last routine of the night. As long as Wong scored a 9.990 or above, the Gators would prevail, but Wong's finish served as the cherry on top of the 198.10-197.50 win over the Bayou Bengals.
