Cornell Women's Gymnastics at GW Invitational

The Cornell Women's Gymnastics team will compete in the annual GW Invitational at the George Washington University's Smith Center. Come support the Big Red!

Coming off one of its most successful seasons ever, the Big Red Gymnastics Team has high hopes for another record setting year and will start its season right here in Washington. Gymnasts from the University of North Carolina, Rutgers, Temple, and William & Mary will be competing, in addition to Cornell and GWU. The meet is expected to last about 2-3 hours.

Last year Cornell women earned the second highest score in team history at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championship in Seattle, WA. An experienced team of sixteen is returning, including seven All Americans, one Ivy League champion, and two ECAC champions. To this already strong team has been added what Gymnastics Coach Paul Beckwith says is "arguably the best recruiting class in our program's history." With all that depth, the Big Red will be strong in every event: vaulting, uneven bars, balance beam, and the floor exercise.

Excitement is already mounting in anticipation of a great season which includes Cornell hosting the Ivy Classic, a trip to William & Mary for the ECAC championships on March 29, 2008, and a trip to Louisiana for the USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championship.
