It was the first-ever Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to have an intercollegiate gymnastics team. Now, the Fisk gymnastics team will make history again when it becomes the first HBCU to host a NCAA gymnastics meet on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, March 14, Fisk will host the historic meet at the Curb Event Center at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

No. 71 Fisk will take on No. 83 Greenville at 8 p.m. ET.

Head coach Corrinne Tarver said the university is hoping to pack the house for this historic meet.

Admission for the meet is $10 for students and $20 for the general public. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of history! Purchase tickets here.
