ATHENS, Ga. - The Alabama Gymnastics team worked out for just under two hours this morning here in Stegeman Coliseum on the NCAA Championships' practice day, adjusting to the equipment and the arena.
The Crimson Tide, at its 26th consecutive NCAA Championship after having won its 23rd NCAA regional title, also took care of its media obligations, including the championship press conference and sitting down for interviews with CBS, which will air the championships on a tape delayed basis May 10th at 2 p.m. CT.
"We had a good day," Alabama head coach Sarah Patterson said. "We came in and adjusted the equipment and the podium and are ready to get started tomorrow afternoon. I think in that respect the teams in our conference have an advantage in that we've already competed on a podium. I give the Southeastern Conference office and our institutions a lot of credit for going the extra mile and having our conference championships on the podium. It really helps when we get to nationals."
