Morgan Price: Fisk University gymnast and first HBCU national champion

Five-star recruit Morgan Price made headlines in 2022 when she decided to de-commit from an SEC program in order to join Fisk University's brand-new gymnastics team — a first for a historically Black university or college. It was a fortuitous decision for the Lebanon, Tenn., native, who not only moved closer to her hometown after years pursuing the sport in Texas, but also fulfilled a lifelong wish to attend an HBCU. In her second year, Morgan became the first gymnast from an HBCU to win a national collegiate all-around championship. It was a full-circle moment for her coach, Corrinne Tarver, who was the first African American woman to win an NCAA gymnastics all-around title. This year, expectations are high for the Fisk Gymdogs, but Morgan and the team are taking it all in stride, and in this episode she talks about her background, handling the pressure and how to come back from the twisties.
