Castrence Earns Second-Straight ECAC Gymnast of the Week Honor

1.21.20 | Women's Gymnastics

PHILADELPHIA—Gymnastics' Ariana Castrence has been named the ECAC Gymnast of the Week for the second week in a row following her stellar performance in Temple's Pink Meet on Saturday night.

Castrence has kicked off the 2020 campaign with a bang. The sophomore broke the program's all-around record with a 39.275 (9.8- vault, 9.8- bars, 9.825- beam, 9.85- floor) to take the meet's all-around title. She also took first place on all four events to help propel the Cherry and White to victories over Cortland and SCSU. The Waldorf, Md. native is ranked No. 1 in the ECAC on vault, floor and all-around.

Up next, The Owls will head to West Virginia to take on the Mountaineers and New Hampshire on Sunday, Jan. 26. Competition is set to begin at 2 p.m in the WVU Coliseum.
