Luisa Blanco is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week

Alabama gymnast Luisa Blanco is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 28-March 6, 2022.

Blanco and her Crimson Tide teammates competed in two meets last weekend, with the first being a home meet against Arkansas. On Senior Night, Blanco completed her events with an all-around score of 39.625. Included in that score was a 9.825 on vault, a 9.975 on bars, a 9.875 on beam and a 9.950 on the floor.

Blanco's contributions helped Alabama take an overall 198.075 score and the win, with the score being the highest of the Dana Duckworth era of Crimson Tide gymnastics.

On Sunday, Blanco and Alabama were at it again, this time at Elevate the Stage in Huntsville, Ala. against Auburn, Arkansas and Georgia. While Blanco didn't contribute her scores to the all-around, she finished the event with a 9.950 on vault, a 9.925 on bars and a 9.625 on beam.

Blanco's scores contributed to an overall 198.000 score for Alabama, good enough to win the meet and give the Crimson Tide its first back-to-back meet scores of 198 or higher since 1996.
