WASHINGTON – Head Coach Margie Foster-Cunningham has announced the addition of four student-athletes to the GW gymnastics program for the 2023-24 season.
First-years Delaney DeHaan, Brooke Izzo, Maya Peters and Sophia Tyeryar will join a team that features 13 returning gymnasts.
"One of the main characteristics we looked for in our newcomers was competitiveness," Foster-Cunningham said. "We want student-athletes who are going to compete from day one, and I think we are bringing in a group that will battle all season and throughout their entire careers."
