WCGA Preseason Poll
WASHINGTON – The George Washington gymnastics team has earned the No. 26 position in the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) preseason poll, the organization announced on Monday.
GW totaled 611 points to notch the 26th spot, just one place behind East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) foe NC State, who clocked in at No. 25 with 704 points. New Hampshire (280 points) and Pittsburgh (247 points) also earned spots on the list at No. 34 and No. 36, respectively.
GW is coming off its 14th NCAA Regionals appearance in program history after boasting high national ranks on three events at the conclusion of the 2018 season, as it ranked 11th on vault (49.200 RQS), 11th on balance beam (49.235 RQS) and 15th on floor exercise (49.295 RQS). The team also matched its highest score in program history with a 196.875 on Senior Day, and surpassed the 195.000 threshold in 12 of 13 meets last season.
The Colonials return a strong core of 13 letterwinners and are highlighted by 2018 All-EAGL First Team selection in the all-around, Alex Zois, and Cydney Crasa, a 2018 Second Team All-Conference pick. Fifth-year Brooke Bray and senior co-captain Julia McLaughlin will also play a large role in 2019 along with sophomores Hannah Cohen, Rachel Kaplan, Katya Karpova and Anna Warhol.
GW also welcomes a quintet of first-years to the squad, who will have an immediate impact as the Colonials face nine postseason teams from last year, including the 2018 NCAA Gymnastics National Championship runner-up Oklahoma, as part of their 2019 competition schedule.
GW is slated to open its 2019 campaign by hosting EAGL rival North Carolina, Cornell, and Ball State for the 12th Annual Lindsey Ferris Invitational on January 13 at 1 p.m.
