A former individual acrobatic gymnastic athlete and current brand sponsor, junior top Jordan Gruendler said she appreciates the Baylor acrobatics and tumbling team for giving her a squad to care for and helping bring new skills into the sport.
Winning the NCATA National Championship may be old hat for Baylor acrobatics and tumbling, but the Bears described their off-the-mat bonds as something entirely unique.
No. 1 Baylor acrobatics and tumbling defeated No. 4 Oregon in the semifinals of the NCATA National Championship by a score of 268.355 to 260.470 on Friday night at the Feaster Center in Fairmont, W.Va.
No. 1 Baylor acrobatics and tumbling started its quest for a ninth straight NCATA national championship with a 271.170-256.070 win over No. 8 Fairmont State in the quarterfinal round on Thursday night at the Feaster Center in Fairmont, W.Va.
The Bears had won five titles in a row from 2015-2019 before last year’s championship was canceled due to COVID-19; Baylor was again ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time. Having lost the chance a year ago, this year’s title was all the more special. “I don’t think anybody understands,” says head coach Felecia Mulkey. “The sigh of relief to get to this point is unbelievable… There were so many times we thought we wouldn’t be able to compete at all.” Instead, the Bears brought home yet another title — the 12th national championship in Baylor varsity sports history. In addition to A&T’s six titles, Baylor has also won championships in men’s basketball (2021), women’s basketball (2005, 2012 & 2019), men’s tennis (2004) and equestrian (2012).
