No. 3 Alabama gymnastics beat the No. 22 Oregon State Beavers by more than a point Friday night, 197.450-195.825.
“I think my takeaway from this evening’s performance is that this team can handle hard, better,” head coach Ashley Johnston said. “I think we really went for landings this week, which was exciting to see. That was our focus.”
Before the meet, the Alabama 1996 gymnastics NCAA championship team was honored for Alumni Night.
Rotation 1
As the home team, the Crimson Tide started on the vault. Alabama posted a 49.125 and Oregon State made a 48.925 on the uneven bars.
Alabama’s highest score was a 9.875 from senior Gabby Gladieux. This landed Gladieux the vault title.
“I’m really excited about our one through four on that lineup,” Johnston said. “Just continuing to find what it is that helps them really settle into landings is going to be everything.”
Rotation 2
For rotation two, Alabama competed on the uneven bars and scored 49.475 to bring its total score to 98.6. Oregon State scored 48.9 on the vault to bring its total score to 97.825.
On the uneven bars, junior Chloe LaCoursiere posted a 9.95 as the Crimson Tide’s highest score. LaCoursiere took the event title.
Rotation 3
Alabama was on the balance beam for rotation three, and Oregon State was on the floor. On the balance beam, the Crimson Tide posted a 49.1, and Oregon St. made a 48.9 on the floor. This brought the total scores to 147.7-146.725.
LaCoursiere posted a 9.725 on the balance beam due to the judges having two separate start values: a 10 and a 9.8. One judge thought LaCoursiere was missing a key factor to a 10.0 start value routine, which brought the value down to a 9.8.
After the meet, Johnston inquired about LaCoursiere’s score. Johnston called it her ‘longest inquiry ever’ since she had to pose two inquiries: one right after the routine and one after the meet. Ultimately, the judges and coaches had to watch a video of the routine and look up the official rulebook. Her official score was brought up to 9.825.
Gladieux and sophomore Kylee Kvamme each posted a 9.9 to mark Alabama’s highest score on the balance beam. This landed Gladieux and Kvamme the title.
Rotation 4
To head into Alabama’s final rotation on the floor, the team got the crowd on its feet and danced with light-up batons that the fans received for Neon Night.
On the floor, Alabama scored a 49.675, which marked the highest floor rotation in NCAA gymnastics for the 2026 season. The Beavers scored a 49.05 on the balance beam.
For Alabama, junior Jamison Sears and Gladieux each posted a 9.95 as the highest score for the Crimson Tide, and Sears’ career high on floor, earning both the title. The all-around title went to Gladieux after she posted a 39.575.
“Coming in freshman year, it was definitely really hard. Seeing myself grow into the leader and teammate that I am today is everything to me,” Sears said. “Having a floor routine like that was just icing on the cake.”
The Crimson Tide is back in action on Feb. 6 at the University of Oklahoma. The meet is set to start at 7:45 p.m. CT and can be streamed on SEC Network.
