Despite a competitive and historic inaugural season Talladega Xollege opted to pull the plug on its burgeoning gymnastics program.
The school cited financial constraints would not allow the resources necessary to support the program.
Talladega’s gymnastics team recorded a 6-13 record, however six of the team’s gymnasts –
including Alexa Chuy, Landyn Williams, Kiara Pearl Williams, Alexandra Maldonado, and Jamilia Duffus and Krystin Johnson. qualified for the USAG Collegiate National Championship.
Kristyn Johnson, who was the first recruit in the program’s history, becoming the first gymnast from an Alabama HBCU to win a national title and after Fisk’s Morgan Price, the second HBCU national champion ever.
The College said they would assist any athlete from the team with finding a landing spot, should they decide to transfer.
