Fifth-year co-captain Alex Zois finished atop the podium for the ninth time this season to claim the all-around title at the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Championship on Saturday. Zois posted a dominant 39.400, .300 over the second place gymnast, behind a 9.850 on vault, a 9.825 on bars, a season-high matching 9.875 on beam and a 9.850 on floor. She also finished the day with First Team EAGL All-Tournament Team honors in every event including the all-around.
At the conclusion of Saturday's championship meet, Zois was also named the EAGL Gymnast of the Year after topping the all-around league standings all season with her 39.335 NQS, 39.212 average, and 39.425 high. The Crofton, Md., native also ranks 33rd nationally in the all-around.
Returning from a season-ending knee injury last season, Zois returned to the squad as a fifth-year in 2019 and has proven to be the most consistent performer on the team. An inspiring captain and outstanding leader, Zois constantly supports and motivates her teammates both in and out of the gym. This year the team's motto was "All Team," which summarizes the mentality Zois has possessed throughout her entire GW Gymnastics career.
