TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Andree' Pickens, a two-time individual NCAA Champion and the captain of Alabama's last NCAA Gymnastics Championship squad is preparing for her biggest meet since won team and individual national titles as a senior in April of 2002.
This week Pickens will once again be attempting to land the perfect vault, though this one will take her soaring far higher than her days in Coleman Coliseum. These days Pickens, who competed for a year on the Crimson Tide's track and field team after her gymnastics eligibility was done, is trying for Olympic glory in the pole vault.
The Houston, Texas native is at the United States Olympic Trials, being held in Eugene, Ore., where she is seeded eighth. The top three finishers at these trials, if they meet the Olympic standard, make the U.S. team that will compete in Beijing.
