WELCOMING FISKÂ
George Washington is proud to welcome Fisk University to the Smith Center on Friday. Fisk is the first Historically Black College or University to have a women's collegiate gymnastics team. Under the direction of head coach Corrine Tarver, the first Black gymnast to win an NCAA all-around title in 1989, the program quickly developed last spring. The 15-gymnast team is competing in its first season and is the first HBCU to compete at the NCAA level.
ABOUT LAST WEEKENDÂ
Prior to hitting its season-high at Temple on Sunday, GW placed first in its annual Pink Meet on Friday with a then-season-high 195.975. The Buff & Blue broke the 196.000 threshold on Sunday with a 196.075 in their second-place finish in Philadelphia.
On Friday, Deja Chambliss was named vault champion for the fifth-straight meet and topped the podium in the all-around with a 39.200.
On Sunday, Libby Garfoot was named co-champion on bars, matching her career-high of 9.900. Chambliss tied for first overall on floor with a season-high 9.925.
AAI NOMINEEÂ
Chambliss was recognized on the American Athletic Inc.'s (AAI) nomination list for the 2023 AAI Award, presented to the most outstanding senior female gymnast in the country. NCAA head coaches will vote on the award, with a list of six finalists forthcoming. The list of all nominees can be found here.
