Chambliss and Zona will lead next season
WASHINGTON - Deja Chambliss and Olivia Zona of GW gymnastics have been voted to serve as team captains for the 2021-22 season, Head Coach Margie Foster-Cunningham has announced.
Zona and Chambliss have played an integral role in the team's most recent success, with the pair being consistent three-event competitors. Both gymnasts were selected in 2021 to the All-EAGL Scholastic Team for the third consecutive year.
Chambliss earned a trip to the Salt Lake City NCAA Regionals, representing her team as an individual on vault, earning a 9.825 on the event. The Chesterfield, Va. native tied for second overall on vault at EAGL Championships and was later selected to compete on the national stage. Chambliss's career-high meet came at Temple (3/5), where she set a new personal best with a 9.850 on bars and tied her 9.900 career-high on vault. Chambliss also tied her career-best 9.900 on floor in the team's season opener at Towson (2/12).
Zona competed on bars, beam and floor in all five meets. The Shrewsbury, Mass. native earned a pair of season-best 9.750s on bars and beam on Senior Day vs. Towson (3/7) and set a season-high 9.875 on floor at Temple (3/5).
The pair will lead a roster that features nine returners.
