FORT WORTH, Texas -- Alabama gymnastics coach Dana Duckworth knew the Super Six was going to come down to the wire -- a .025 meet, as she predicted on Friday.
The Crimson Tide gave Oklahoma and LSU a run before falling behind both schools on Saturday night in the NCAA gymnastics championships on Saturday. Oklahoma won the national title with a 197.6750 score. LSU (197.4500) narrowly edged Alabama (197.4375) for second place.
Duckworth found several positives in Alabama’s third-place finish.
“That was a very tough competition,” Duckworth said. “We knew it was going to be a tough competition and I think what we were really most proud of is that the girls just trusted themselves.
