Fisk expected to discontinue trailblazing HBCU gymnastics team

The HBCU gymnastics world will soon be down to one team following the 2026 season as Fisk announced they will discontinue their gymnastics program, according to a report by College Gym News.

“While we are tremendously proud of the history our gymnastics team has made in just three years, we look forward to focusing on our conference-affiliated teams to strengthen our impact in the HBCU Athletic Conference,” said Fisk Director of Athletics Valencia Jordan. “Fisk is grateful for the hard work, dedication, and tenacity of its gymnasts, staff members, and coaches who made this program possible.”

Fisk was the first HBCU to announce a gymnastics program in 2023, followed by Talladega College and Wilberforce University.

Morgan Price, the 2024 HBCU Sports Female Athlete of the year, won a national championship at Fisk but has since transferred to the University of Arkansas for her final year of eligibility.
