Gymnastics to open season Sunday at Smith Center
GW’s gymnastics team is set to open its season Sunday afternoon at the Smith Center with the Lindsey Ferris Invitational. The team will feature seven returning members, including 2009 NCAA regional qualifiers Amanda Murphy and Leslie Delima, who was also named to the all-conference team in the all-around and floor exercise last year. The team will feature a considerable amount of youth, with five freshmen set to make their Colonial debut this weekend.
The news is not all good for the Colonials, who will be without redshirt freshman Monique Blount for a second straight season due to an ACL injury that will keep her out until next year. In her place, head coach Margie Foster-Cunningham has tapped freshmen Kayla Carto and Stephanie Stoicovy for spots on GW’s all-around team.
