Former Fisk University gymnast Morgan Price has made history again, this time becoming the first University of Arkansas gymnast to score a perfect 10 on vault. Price previously made history in 2025 as the first HBCU gymnast to score a perfect 10, which she achieved on uneven bars.
Why it matters
Price's achievement is significant as she continues to break barriers for HBCU athletes. Her transfer from Fisk to Arkansas also reunited her with her sister Frankie, who was already on the Gymbacks team. Price's success highlights the growing prominence of HBCU sports programs and their ability to produce elite-level talent.
The details
In a video captured by Arkansas athletics, Price spoke about her historic vault routine, saying 'It means everything to me. I've been working so hard in the gym to perfect that vault, so to be able to do it for the Gymbacks today was super amazing.' Price had previously won the 2024 USA Collegiate National Title, becoming the first gymnast from an HBCU to achieve that feat. She also won the all-around national championship title at the 2025 Women's Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championships.
- In February 2025, Price became the first HBCU gymnast to score a perfect 10, which she achieved on uneven bars.
- Price announced she was leaving Fisk University to enter the transfer portal last Spring before signing with the University of Arkansas.
- The Gymbacks will face Missouri on March 1st at 1 PM EST, with the meet broadcast on SEC Network+.
