Makarri Doggette's Return Highlights Friday's Victory
Coming off a tough loss at LSU last week, the Alabama gymnastics team was seeking redemption at home against the Missouri Tigers.
Alabama didn't have many flashy scores in the vault lineup this week; however, they quietly put together a strong vault lineup highlighted by Luisa Blanco's season best 9.925 Yurchenko 1.5. While that score for any gymnast is amazing, it meant more to Blanco because getting back to where her vaulting scores last year has been a challenge.
"She landed that vault, I'm not sure if y'all saw her, but she kind of looked and she goes 'finally,'" head coach Dana Duckworth said. "That was such an expression of relief because that's the one event post her shoulder surgery that's really taken some time."
The uneven bars rotation got a needed boost Friday night. After missing last week's meet, junior Makarri Doggette returned to the uneven bars lineup and gave the Tide a much needed 9.900 on bars. Luisa Blanco said that having Doggette back was incredible.
"She's such a strong person, and I say that because she's my best friend, she's my roommate. I see the good, bad and the ugly and I'm just so proud of her for coming out there and doing her job tonight," Blanco said.
Blanco followed her roommate's 9.900 with a 9.950 herself on the uneven bars which ties her season high on the event.
The Crimson Tide's beam lineup didn't have as much success as last week's meet, however three gymnasts scored a 9.900 on the event. Alabama fans haven't been known for their enthusiasm in past gymnastic meets, but something changed on student night in Coleman Coliseum. Students let their feelings be heard as boos poured in from the student section after what looked like two solid beam routines by Shallon Olsen and Mati Waligora. Olsen scored a 9.800 and Waligora scored a 9.775 which displeased the Alabama fans.
Alabama finished the night out strong with a 49.525 overall score on the floor exercise. The last two routines got the crowd fired up. Blanco scored a 9.950 and super-senior Lexi Graber finished with a 9.975 causing fans to go crazy
Duckworth, a usual critique of the fans, was pleased with the crowd's energy tonight. She hopes it will continue into next week which is senior night.
"Our fans were on fire! Our girls felt it, we felt it, and I'm gonna tell you... we have senior night next Friday and it's gonna be even more electric... Go fans! Go cheer! Go students!" Duckworth said.
Coach also took a minute to thank the staff for all they do. She said it makes all of their (the coaches and gymnasts) lives easier.
Alabama gymnastics competes against the Arkansas Razorback next Friday. The senior night meet starts at 7 p.m. and will air on SECN+.

The Crimson Tide has now won six-consecutive Elevate the Stage meets, dating back to the inaugural competition in 2015.
Luisa Blanco won the vault (9.950) while Lexi Graber and Lilly Hudson (9.950) tied for top honors on the floor exercise. Hudson was second in the all-around with a 39.500, while Mati Waligora and Cameron Machado (9.950) were second on the uneven bars.

A 9.900 from Ella Burgess in the leadoff spot paced Alabama to a 49.325 on the balance beam, while a pair of 9.950s from Graber and Hudson and a 9.925 from Machado drove the Tide to a 49.550 on the floor exercise.

Head Coach Dana Duckworth Said
"I'm really proud of the consistency our team showed this weekend. To score a 198 on Friday and then come back and do it again this afternoon, less than 48 hours later, will help our ladies feel confident and prepared as we head into the championship season. We showed a lot of resilience and tenacity today. We had some changes to the lineup as we went along today and they didn't waver. I'm really proud of the way they handled the adversity and came out with a strong showing and a great win. We are certainly thankful to Knight/Eady and the Huntsville Sports Commission for creating such an awesome environment for all the team to compete in today."
