HOUSTON - Morgan Price announced her intentions to transfer to a new program after dominating Division II gymnastics for the past two seasons. Only three years have passed since Fisk University launched the first-ever HBCU women's gymnastics team. It is safe to say that Morgan Price has become the greatest gymnast in HBCU history.  

On April 11, at the 2025 Women's Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championship in Shreveport, Louisiana, Price repeated as the all-around champion.

A day later, she swept the apparatus events, winning all four individual gold medals in the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor routine.  

What more can Price achieve in Division II gymnastics before yielding her final year of NCAA eligibility? Morgan provided us with her answer on Tuesday.

PRICE IS ALL-AROUND NATIONAL CHAMPION

Fisk University's gymnastics superstar Morgan Price repeated as the 2025 USA Gymnastics All-Around Champion for the second consecutive season at Centenary Dome in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Apr. 11.   

It has been an exceptional and historic season for Price. She is the first HBCU gymnast to win two national titles and earn a perfect score of 10.0 in a routine in the same year.

The two-time all-American gymnast compiled the top all-around score of 39.350 at the 2025 USAG National competition. She will enter the individual events competition on Sunday.

Last season, Price made history as the first gymnast from a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to win the 2024 USA Collegiate National Title in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Also, former Talladega University gymnast Kyrstin Johnson secured third place in the same all-around competition and won the vault, becoming the first HBCU gymnast to earn a gold medal.

Her teammate Aliyah Reed-Hammon finished the competition in 14th place with a score of 19.675, competing in only two events - the vault and balance beam.

Morgan Price's Scoring

  1. Vault - 9.775 (4th)
  2. Uneven Bars -9.850 (2nd-T)
  3. Balance Beam - 9.900 (1st)
  4. Floor Exercise - 9.825 (3rd-T)

HBCU Legends will have more details on Sunday's individual competition.
