Morgan Price, from Tennessee HBCU, Fisk University, has made history again. The 2024 USAG All-Around National Gymnastics Champion is set to become the first gymnast inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.
The Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, renowned for celebrating exceptional athletes across all sports, is now adding gymnastics to its honored fields, thanks to Morgan. With over 500 inductees to date, the Hall of Fame is about to get even more legendary.
“I’m honored to be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame,” Morgan shared. “Sports and gymnastics are an essential part of my wellness commitment. It gives me a chance to speak about the importance of movement while being a role model for young girls who share my dream of success in gymnastics.”
Morgan’s story is about commitment, excellence, and HBCU pride. As she heads back to Nashville this weekend, she’s not just returning as a junior at Fisk University; she’s coming back as a two-time First Team All-American and the reigning USAG All-Around National Champion! By the way, Fisk University boasts the first HBCU gymnastics team in the country.
The black-tie event and silent auction will take place at the Omni Nashville. Morgan and other prominent figures such as Scott Hamilton, Chris Burke, Chris Johnson, and Pekka Rinne were recognized.
“Morgan’s induction isn’t just a win for her; it’s also a win for Fisk University, HBCUs, and aspiring gymnasts everywhere. Her accomplishment highlights the amazing talent emerging from HBCUs and motivates the next generation to strive for greatness, showing that no dream is too big to accomplish.”
