After an impending snowstorm pushed gymnastic’s opening meet, the team will begin Feb. 7 against New Hampshire.

Gymnastics will not travel for its season-opening meet against North Carolina due to the impending snowstorm set to hit D.C. Sunday, according to a release Saturday.

The storm is expected to bring snow, sleet or freezing rain throughout the day Sunday. The Washington Post reported the snowstorm to be the largest in two years with the ability to last until Tuesday.

“Both programs will actively work to reschedule the meet for a later date,” the release states.

GW was previously set to open the season at Pitt Jan. 24, but the team did not have “enough time to appropriately prepare physically and mentally for the rigor of competition,” an athletic department spokesperson said.

The Colonials are now set to kick off the 2021 season against New Hampshire in their first of two home meets this season. Competition begins Feb. 7 at 1 p.m.
