Alabama Comes Up Short in Gymnastics Iron Bowl
While the Crimson Tide didn't walk away from Auburn with the victory, the team did finish with five 9.900+ on arguably the hardest event in gymnastics, the balance beam. Ella Burgess led Alabama off with a 9.900. Makarri Doggette had a significant balance break after Burgess and scored a 9.700. The next three gymnast who followed Doggette– Lexi Graber, Mati Waligora, and Lilly Hudson– all scored a 9.925. Luisa Blanco finished the beam rotation and competition with a 9.975.
