Lineup Outlook

Floor Exercise
Fisk is slated to start the competition on a high note with the floor exercise. Building off last week's powerful lineup, Senior Allie Berkley is set to confidently start off the rotation. Berkley will be followed by the proven consistency and elegance of classmate Aliyah Reed-Hammon, junior Ciniah Rosby, and freshman Kennedi Johnson. Senior Zyia Coleman will round out this event with her captivating routine.
Vault
Moving right along to another powerhouse event for the Bulldogs. Vault will be kicked off with Johnson in the lead spot. Coleman, freshman Hadassah Diggs, and Reed-Hammon will follow to build upon each score before them. Berkley and Rosby will finish the rotation with potential cleanliness and stuck landings. Vault has been one of Fisk's best events this season.
Uneven Bars
The Bar Squad has been gaining traction for Fisk in the past few weeks as the Bulldogs continue to make improvements. Sophomore Aiyana Thomas will start the lineup off strong with her growing consistency and strength in her routine. Coleman, Rosby, and Johnson will keep that moment going by fighting for every tenth. Pratt and Diggs are set to wrap up the rotation with beautiful displays of technique.
Balance Beam
You can look forward to seeing Reed-Hammon once again on beam. Followed by Pratt, Berkley, and Rosby. This combination has proven time and time again that the Bulldogs are confident and strong on this event. To finish the rotation, Diggs and Johnson look to improve upon their season high scores from last week.
