Chambliss honored for fourth time this season
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – Following an impressive showing in their final pair of regular-season meets, Deja Chambliss and Kendall Whitman of GW gymnastics have claimed the final East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Weekly Awards. Chambliss was named Gymnast of the Week for the fourth time this season, while Whitman was selected as Specialist of the Week for her first honor this year.
Chambliss matched her career-high on floor for the second time this season at Maryland with a 9.925. The Chesterfield, Va., native tied for first overall on vault in both meets this weekend, and has now led GW on the event in all but one meet this season. Chambliss finished second on floor at Maryland and second in the all-around with a 39.325. On Monday, Chambliss was selected to three All-EAGL First Team's for her conference-leading 9.895 NQS on vault and 9.905 NQS on floor. Chambliss' third All-EAGL selection came in the all-around, where she is second in the league with a 39.240 NQS.
On Sunday, Whitman earned a career-high 9.875 on beam, helping GW to its season-high score of 49.325. The sophomore tied for first overall on vault alongside Chambliss in the quad meet, leading GW to another season-best of a 49.325 on vault. At Towson, Whitman posted her fourth 9.900+ on floor this season to lead GW, and finish second overall. Whitman was named to the All-EAGL Second Team on vault with a 9.805 NQS. The Pottstown, Pa., native also picked up First Team honors on floor with a 9.890 NQS, good enough for second in the league behind Chambliss.Â
The Buff & Blue will compete at EAGL Championships on Saturday, March 19, at 6 p.m. at the Smith Center.
