Auburn Defeats Alabama in Gymnastics For First Time since 1979
Caitlyn Atkinson - Zach Bland / Auburn AthleticsTHE STREAK IS OVER
117 matches. Just shy of 37 years. That's how long it's been since Auburn Gymnastics defeated Alabama.
Tonight, in front of the second sellout crowd this season and only the third in Auburn Gymnastics history, the streak ended.
I can't do justice to what this means to those girls. I'll let Megan Walker do that for us as soon as she's able to write something. Here's what she had to say in her preview of the meet for tonight. This should at least give you a great idea of just what this victory means in terms of the direction of the program and how it will increase the national perception and prowess of the team.
