On a scale of one to 10, Trinity Thomas is about as close to a 10 as there is.
The University of Florida gymnast finished her Gators career with a record-tying 28th “perfect 10” at the NCAA Nationals in Fort Worth, Tex.
She matches the 28 perfectos of former gymnasts Jenny Hansen of Kentucky and UCLA’s Jamie Dantzscher.
A 22-year-old native of York, Pa., Thomas got her 28th perfect score in the vault – a Yurchenko 1.5.
In 2007, Olympic and Elite gymnastics did away with the perfect 10, but it remains a part of the collegiate scene.
Broken down, the fifth-year senior’s 10’s came on 12 floor exercise, six beams, five bars and five vaults.
Florida finished second behind Oklahoma in the overall team standing.
