LAST TIME OUT:Â The Buff & Blue opened their season at Sunday's 15th annual Lindsey Ferris Invitational. Behind strong team performances on vault and floor, GW finished the day second with a score of 194.250. GW claimed the top three spots on floor with Kendall Whitman's and Deja Chambliss' matching 9.875s and Olivia Zona's 9.825. Simone Banen returned to the GW lineup after missing the 2021 season due to injury and led GW on bars alongside Chambliss with a 9.800.Â

Chambliss has led GW's vault lineup in all but one of the team's meets dating back to Feb. 16, 2020. The Chesterfield, Va., native has earned scores at or above the 9.775 mark in all 10 of these combined meets, including a pair of career-high 9.900s.Â
STEPPING UP:Â In Sunday's season opener, four gymnasts made their Buff & Blue debuts, including first-years Marlee York, Rachel Katz and Sarah Zois, and junior transfer Libby Garfoot.
