Fisk University Bulldog Gymnastics Team made history on the final day of Black History Month, achieving a groundbreaking victory that continues to cement their legacy in sports history.
On Saturday, the team secured their place in history by becoming the first Historically Black College and University (HBCU) gymnastics program to defeat both NCAA Division I Southeast Missouri State University and Division II University of Bridgeport.
The Bulldogs not only made history with their victories, but also recorded their highest scores ever in the program’s history, including a 194.6 overall team score, 48.925 on floor, and 49.25 on bars.
“This victory extends beyond the gym,” Fisk Athletics stated. “It symbolizes perseverance, unity, and the breaking of barriers. It represents more than just a win – it reflects the spirit and strength of our community.”
With this historic win under their belts, the Bulldogs will look to continue their momentum as they head to Shreveport, Louisiana, to compete against Century University on March 8
