Baylor continues most dominant run in acrobatics and tumbling history

By Jessika Harkay | Sports Writer

When head coach Felecia Mulkey arrived to the Baylor acrobatics and tumbling team in 2014, no one knew that within five years, the program would clinch five national championships.

Over the weekend at the NCATA National Championships, Mulkey’s team swept past No. 8 Gannon University (279.200 – 263.390) and No. 4 Quinnipiac (278.075-269.485) before a competitive matchup and win against No. 2 Oregon on Saturday night (278.400-271.725).

Baylor, who sits at 50-1 under Mulkey, has only been defeated by one team — Oregon — in late February of 2017. Throughout 26 matchups, the Bears have come out on top when it was needed most, defeating the Ducks in four national championships.
