Alabama fans will get their first official look at the 2005 Crimson Tide Gymnastics team Saturday, Oct. 2 when the team will be signing autographs on the University of Alabama Quad from 3-4 pm.

Fans will get to meet three-time NCAA Champion Ashley Miles, All-Americans Alexis Brion, Mari-Christine Bayer and Shannon Hrozek along with returners Brittany Comeaux, Rachael Delahoussaye, Dana Filetti, Meredith Laxton, Dana Pierce, Michelle Reeser and Erin Rightley. They will also get their first peek at rookies Jessie Silver, Mindy Weber and Kaitlin White. Freshman Terin Humphrey is currently on tour with her U.S. Olympic teammates and will join the Tide in late December in time to start the 2005 competitive season.

And at halftime of the Alabama-South Carolina football game, which gets underway at 5 p.m., Miles and 2004 senior Jeana Rice will receive their NCAA Individual Championship Rings along with diver Lane Bassham. Miles won the NCAA Vault and Floor Exercise title in 2004 while Rice won the NCAA All-Around championship. Bassham, a senior last year, won the NCAA Three-meter Diving championship.
