Price will showcase her talent as an individual qualifier at the 2023 USA Gymnastics Women's Collegiate National Championships inside Texas Woman's University's Kitty Magee Arena in Denton, TX, on April 6-8.

Morgan's teammates will accompany her and participate as individual qualifiers:

  • Aliyah Reed-Hammon (vault, beam alternate)
  • Kiara Richmon (bars)
  • Liberty Mora (beam, floor alternate)
  • Zyia Coleman (floor)

The event schedule will begin with the Team and All-Around competition session at 2 PM CT on Thur. April 6. The Team Final is kickoff at 7 PM CT on Fri. April 7. The Individual Finals will occur at 1 PM CT on Saturday, April 8. Live streaming will be available for purchase.

The Ladies of Fisk will open the event at 2 PM CT against Air Force, Bridgeport, Brown, Centenary College, Cornell, Lindenwood, S.E. Missouri, Southern Conn., West Chester, and Yale.

As a team, the Fisk Gymnastics program ranks 71st in the country with a Team National Qualifying Score of 190.005. The ladies were outstanding for a program celebrating its first season of inception and competition as a Division III team from the Southeast.

Fisk completed the regular season as the No. 5 Division III team that outscored established groups like Ithaca, Centenary, and Springfield Colleges. 

Should we put their first season in perspective, consider the nation's top programs and scoring:

  • No. 1 Oklahoma (198.355, Div. I), 
  • No. 2 Florida (198.110, Div. I),  
  • No. 3 Michigan (198.080, Div. I)

Coach Corinne Tarver successfully launched the first HBCU gymnastics program from scratch, especially with four young ladies who will compete for individual titles in April.
