Talladega College announced that they will be discontinuing their gymnastics program at the end of this month. This comes as the school continues to deal with financial issues within the institution that makes it hard for them to supply the resources necessary for team to compete.
The team was the second gymnastics team in HBCU history. They made history this past February, becoming the first HBCU team to win an NCAA team competition, and sweep the individual all-around of that event.
President Dr. Walter M. Walter M. Kimbrough says that the decision was difficult and that the school made this decision in an effort to allocate the resources they have to strengthen the institution.
