NCAA Gymnastics: Alabama Prepares for ‘Eras’ Night After Breaking Into Top 10

Another looming match created anticipation among the fans. The Alabama Sooners have maintained their nation’s gymnastics ranking this season. The recent tribute to Taylor Swift-themed night is going on in the gymnastics arena. Drawing inspiration from the pop star’s Eras Tour, which celebrated her two decades of career, the gymnastics teams are paying tribute too.

Boating one of the best rotations in the country at the National Qualification with a score of 49.53, they couldn’t perform in the same way and came off with a score of 49.2.
