FORT WORTH, Texas – In addition to winning two individual NCAA Championships and finishing fifth in the nation this season, the Alabama gymnastics team saw four student-athletes earn eight Championship All-America honors over the weekend.
Luisa Blanco, Makarri Doggette, Lexi Graber and Shallon Olsen all earned the accolades which are based on individual finishes in Friday's semifinal sessions, with first-team honors going to gymnasts who finish in the top four of their semifinal, and second team recognition going to those who finish in the second four.
In all, 78 Alabama gymnasts have combined to earn 391 All-America honors. That total includes Championship All-America honors as well as Regular Season All-America recognition, which began in 2013.
"This group of young ladies have been focused on their team and what they could accomplish together as women on fire since the 2020 season came to an abrupt halt due to COVID. These latest honors are indicative of the hard work, dedication and love that Luisa, Lexi, Makarri and Shallon put into this team, and the beauty that comes from truly doing this sport for the woman standing next to you. I'm so proud of Team 47 and all they have accomplished and I can't wait to see the fire they've nurtured this year carry on into next season."
