GW heads to Towson on Friday and Maryland on Sunday
WASHINGTON – The George Washington gymnastics team will conclude its regular season this weekend when it competes in a pair of quad meets. GW will head to Towson on Friday for a 6 p.m. meet with the Tigers, Maryland and Southern Connecticut. The Buff & Blue will then meet the Terps again on Sunday in College Park with Penn and Bridgeport. Sunday's meet is scheduled for noon, with coverage available via Big Ten Network+.
LAST TIME OUTÂ
GW posted its second-straight 195.850 to finish first at the Masters Classic hosted by Nebraska with Lindenwood last Friday. The Buff & Blue scored a season-high 49.150 on bars behind Libby Garfoot's personal-best 9.900. Garfoot topped the podium with the score for her first event title of the season. The first-place decision came down to the final rotation with GW on beam and Nebraska on floor. Sarah Zois, Kendall Whitman and Olivia Raymond led the beam lineup, with Zois posting a career-high 9.850 and Whitman and Raymond tying their personal bests with a 9.825 and 9.800, respectively, to push the Buff & Blue ahead of the host Cornhuskers.
LEADING THE PACK
Deja Chambliss has proven to be GW's most consistent performer this season. Chambliss owns the top spot in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League rankings on vault and floor. The Chesterfield Va., native boasts an NQS of a 9.885 on vault and a 9.895 on floor to lead the league. Chambliss has led GW on vault in all but one meet this year, posting scores at or above the 9.875 mark in seven of the team's 10 meets. Chambliss scored four-straight 9.900s on floor and posted a career-high 9.925 on the event earlier this season. In addition to Chambliss' top score, Whitman sits third in the league on floor with a 9.880 NQS. Whitman has earned floor scores of a 9.875-plus five times this season.Â
