The Crimson Tide will play host to four SEC opponents, all of which finished last season inside the top 20, before welcoming Illinois, Minnesota and Talladega in a quad meet
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama gymnastics program announced its 2024 home schedule on Wednesday, a slate that features four standalone meets and one quad meet.
The Crimson Tide's schedule will feature four Southeastern Conference opponents that finished in the top 20, nationally, just a year prior. The Crimson Tide will close its home schedule in March when it welcomes three non-conference opponents to Coleman Coliseum.
Alabama Head Coach Ashley Johnston Said
"We are very excited about this home schedule. From start to end, we will be met with great teams that will challenge us to deliver our very best, every night. Our fans have always been such a key component during meets, and this schedule allows them to see some amazing gymnastics from the very first meet until the end of our regular season. As a former gymnast here, I know how electric a packed Coleman Coliseum can be. We cannot wait to see everyone back in the stands this season."
