Saturday's competition in Nashville will recognize and bring awareness to the severity and reality of kidney disease in today's society.

"It's bittersweet approaching our last regular season meet," said Talladega head coach Aja Sims-Fletcher. "We are so excited and more prepared than ever to put all of our hard work out on the competition floor. We have put so much of our hearts and dedication into this inaugural team, and we are ready to put our heart and souls into this last season's team performance."
