Alabama Gymnastics 2021 Year-in-Review: Consistency and getting over the hump Share this story Photo by C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images If there were one word you could use to describe the 2021 Alabama Crimson Tide Gymnastics squad, it is consistent. Although, you could also use the word “almost” and be as justified. For the fourth straight season, Alabama improved its average scoring across the board. But, notably absent from that trend were the slow starts and aberrant low scoring that have plagued the program of late. Those are definite pluses. In 2021, the Crimson Tide could not have been a steadier program: It finished 7th in the nation overall (197.053); its adjusted scoring was 7th (197.538); and it had the 7th-highest team score (197.875). That trend was seen its individual apparatus scoring too...mainly. Alabama was 5th in Vault; 6th in Beam; 8th in Bars.
