Baylor A&T Team Now 10x National Champions!!!

 Emily Bott 

4/27/25

Hey blog welcome back to tumbling with  Emily , this past week has definitely been a crazy one. We prepared all year for nationals in Sioux Falls South Dakota and it came and went so fast but I will keep the memories for a lifetime. We competed against 3 teams and came out on top all the rounds, it was very very exciting. The final event was us vs Oregon and wow the crowd was wild. The Oregon crowd does not like Baylor, we are the 10 time national champions and currently on a 50 meet win streak. I get excited when we hear the boos from the crowd. It makes me do better. Baylor fans are always supportive to all the athletes and families of athletes. The final day was the individual event finals. I’m so excited and proud to say I received the honor of being named  All-American from the ncata. The ncata is the governing body for our sport . So now that nationals is over, so is practice and that gives me a lot more time to study and start to pack to go back to New York this summer. I’m not sure what I will do this summer as far as work but I may take a few online classes to get ahead. I did work last summer so if they ask me back I’ll do that for a few days but I mostly want to work some new skills and train for next year's season. I want to make sure I’m prepared for next season better than this season. We are never guaranteed a spot in the starting line up  because every year it’s a new team between the seniors who graduated and the incoming freshman. You don’t know what is needed to make the most points for the team. So to be proactive I will make sure to keep up on my skills. Until next time, blog so many exciting things to come.

Meet Me & My Sport Acrobatics & Tumbling

  Emily Bott 2/16/25  Hey everyone, my name is Emily Bott and I am officially starting my first blog. I am a sophomore on the Acrobatics and Tumbling team at Baylor University and today I am going to explain to you the new and rising collegiate sport of acrobatics and tumbling and how our meets work. Keep up with me for next week's blog, where I will discuss some traveling tips and how our coaches run our away meets.  We have a total of five home meets, four away meets, plus the national championship that is also away located at Augustana University. A quick little background on the sport Acrobatics and Tumbling, where it is the only sport other than American Football to be created at a collegiate level. Only as far back as the year 2009, my coach, Coach Felecia Mulkey, and a few other college administrators around the country made this sport into what it is today. The Baylor University A&T team has won a total of nine national championships in a row, where last yea...

Pack with me for Baylor vs. Oregon A&T Meet

Emily Bott 2/21/25 Hey everyone! Welcome back to continue Flippin’ with Emily. This week was a big long week, as it was expected to be. Me and my teammates left to fly all the way to Oregon for a big competitive meet against their Acrobatics and Tumbling team. We have always had very exciting and competitive meets against Oregon, but we still won.  On our travel trips the coaches will provide us a list of important clothing and shoes we will need for our meet and for practices. They also supply us with matching Baylor suitcases to use for these trips, which aren’t the most spacious to include many extra belongings other than the important stuff. Other than the clothing, I will make sure I pack prepared for every occasion that may come which are the necessities like toiletries. My toiletries necessities are my toothbrush, toothpaste, hairspray, bar of soap, shampoo, conditioner, vitamin C gummies, hair brush, icy hot, advil, and lotion. Now the next extra thing I pack is my fore...

Come with me to our Home Meet, Baylor Vs. Azusa Pacific

Emily Bott 3/2/2025 Hey everyone! Welcome back to Flippin' with Emily. Following up after the Oregon meet we recently had, our week was pretty busy. In the weeks that we have meets  we’re already prepared for hard practices and extra work. It’s the same if it’s  an away meet or a home meet , the main difference for home  meets is that the entire roster gets to be a part of all that’s  involved .  Our  starting lineup is 24 and the entire team consists of 55. The travel team changes week after week and you’re never guaranteed a spot. That’s why when we travel we don’t check into our flight until sometime six hours before because you never know who will be traveling. So with it being a home meet, it was great to be with everybody. We start the day off with a team lunch. Everybody shows up wearing the exact same T-shirt and black pants and the lunch is at the banc on campus. The banc is amazing. They always prepare us the most delicious pre-meet meal and fuel ...
