She makes history wherever she goes!

Morgan Price, a senior gymnast now competing at the University of Arkansas, scored the first perfect 10 in the program’s 24-year history on Friday night, sticking a flawless Yurchenko 1.5 vault during a meet against Kentucky.

But this isn’t her first time at the rodeo.

Last year, while competing at Fisk University, Price became the first HBCU gymnast ever to score a perfect 10, earning it on the uneven bars. She was a founding member of Fisk’s gymnastics team, the first at any HBCU in the country, and she dominated. Over three seasons in Nashville, Price won six national titles, captured back-to-back all-around championships, and swept every individual event at nationals in 2024. She was named the inaugural HBCU Sports Female Athlete of the Year and the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame’s Amateur Female Athlete of the Year.

What makes her path even more remarkable is how she got there. Price had originally committed to Arkansas out of high school but decommitted after learning that Fisk was launching its program. She chose to help build something from the ground up rather than join a powerhouse.

“A lot of people didn’t understand the reasoning as to why I did switch from Arkansas, but at the end of the day, it was so much bigger than gymnastics,” Price told WFAA. “It was so that people know that HBCUs can still compete with the top schools.”

In June 2025, when Fisk announced it would discontinue the program due to scheduling and recruiting challenges, Price transferred to Arkansas for her senior year, reuniting with her older sister, Frankie, who had already competed for the Razorbacks.

And on Friday, she made history again.

“I love making history,” Price said after the meet. “I wanted to get a 10, and I didn’t really care when, how, or what event, but today I got it.”

The first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at an HBCU and now the first perfect 10 at Arkansas.

Black girl magic personified!
