Fisk's Morgan Price Becomes First HBCU Gymnast To Score A Perfect Ten
History made for Morgan Price of Fisk University. The junior gymnast earned a perfect score for her bar routine in a tri meet at Temple University on Saturday. With the score, Price etches her name in the record books for college gymnastics. Price becomes the first gymnast representing a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to earn a perfect score in women’s collegiate gymnastics.
The now-historic routine came in the third rotation for the Fisk Women’s Gymnastics team. Price showcased her trademark clean skills and nailed her stellar full-twisting double-back dismount to the roar of her teammates. When the ‘10.0’ officially flashed, the entire Bulldog gymnastics team excitedly swarmed Price.
Price’s score shattered her previous career high of 9.90 on the event – but that’s not all. In a career-meet for the junior, Price won every event but beam en route to a career-high all-around total. She didn’t just win the all-around; she dominated the competition. With a 39.500 overall, Price topped the second-place gymnast by almost an entire point, a staggering margin in women’s gymnastics.
The historic meet marks another highlight in Price’s record-breaking career. Since Fisk University founded the first HBCU gymnastics program in 2022, Price has led the charge for HBCU gymnastics. In her freshman season, Price became the first HCBU gymnast to earn a 9.90, recording the score on bars in just week four of her rookie season. She also became the first HBCU gymnast to win an all-around title, claiming the win at Georgia. Later that season, she became a USAG First-Team All-American.
