Rested Lady Dawgs to Showcase Their Talent in DC

WASHINGTON, D.C. – After a grueling four meet and nine-day grind, the Fisk Lady Bulldog Gymnastic team will travel to The Nation's Capital to compete for the Lindsey Ferris Invitational. The team will compete against George Washington University (Colonials), Yale University (Bulldogs), and the University of Pennsylvania (Quakers). The meet will take place on Sunday, January 26th, at 1 PM EST at the Charles E. Smith Center and will be live-streamed on ESPN+.

What to Look for This Weekend:
The Lady Bulldogs are working to solidify their lineup positions after battling a couple of injuries during last weekend's meet at Western Michigan. As a result, fans will see new faces and lineup changes this weekend, creating fresh opportunities for the team to shine.

Key Athletes to Watch:

• All-Around Competitors:
• • Morgan Price and Ciniah Rosby will take on all four events this weekend. Both athletes are focused on improving their National Qualifying Scores (NQS) as the team starts accumulating scores for National Rankings.
• Vault Lineup:
• • Jada Reese (Senior) is aiming to build on her impressive debut score.
  • Kendall Guy (Freshman) returns to the lineup, bringing her power and consistency.
  • Joining them will be Ciniah Rosby, Aliyah James, Allie Berkely, and Morgan Price, all looking to post personal bests this weekend.
• Uneven Bars:
• • The Bulldogs are continuing to refine their bars lineup to boost the team score.
  • After some time off due to injury, 5th-year senior and Jamaican National Team member Kiara Richmon will return to the lineup. Her exhibition performance at the MLK Invitational showed great promise and could be a turning point for this event.
  • The lineup will also feature Ciniah Rosby, Allie Berkely, Madison Benson, and Morgan Price, with freshman Aiyana Thomas making her collegiate debut. This marks an exciting opportunity for the team and for Aiyana to contribute to the lineup.
• Balance Beam:
• • The beam lineup will likely feature Kaylei McDonald, Ciniah Rosby, Liberty Mora, Morgan Price, and Allie Berkely, with Madison Benson taking a much-deserved rest this weekend.
• Floor Exercise:
• • To give some athletes an opportunity to rest, there will be slight changes to the floor lineup. Fans can expect to see Liberty Mora, Kaylei McDonald, Kendall Guy, Ciniah Rosby, Jada Reese, and Morgan Price showcasing their routines.

Team Focus:

The Bulldogs are determined to bounce back after a tough meet at Western Michigan, leaving that performance in the rearview mirror. With the momentum from the inaugural Windy City Classic Invitational and the return of key contributors, the team is ready to show their strength and resilience.
