Your daily briefing on what's going on with Alabama athletics, including how to watch the Crimson Tide.
Team White defeated Team Crimson 196.125-195.625 in the annual Crimson and White preview meet for Alabama gymnastics on Friday as the squad gave fans a final preseason look before the year gets underway.
Two teams combined for 40 different routines in dual-meet style five-up-five-count setting. Team White let wire-to-wore as Chloe LaCoursiere and anchor Cameron Machado each posted 9.900 on the uneven bars. “We came in here tonight excited to get out there for the first time and start fine-tuning our physical, mental and team culture prep," Alabama head coach Ashley Johnston said. "Today, the team introduced this concept of ‘Bama versus Everyone’, and we really went into it with that approach. The goal was to be able to step into any uncomfortable situation and learn how to thrive in it. I feel like everybody got better at that tonight.
“It was a great opportunity for our freshmen to compete for the first time in Coleman Coliseum and get to feel that connection – the fan base and the extra nerves that can bring as well. I think they handled it really well. It was a little bit of a different format, in that we had five up, five count on each event, so there was no margin for error. Normally at a dual competition, it's six-up-five-count, so there's always that one score that you can drop.
