3.3.20 | Women's Gymnastics
PHILADELPHIA—Gymnastics' Ariana Castrence has been named the ECAC Gymnast of the Week for the third time this season, following her fantastic all-around performance at Maryland's Terrapin Invitational on Sunday.
Castrence competed all four events for the Cherry and White, earning a spot on the podium on vault, floor and in the all-around. The Waldorf, Md. native tied her career-high on vault with a 9.875 to earn second place on the event, posted a 9.825 on bars, a 9.7 on beam and tied her career-best on floor with a 9.85 to earn a share of second place. Castrence took the all-around crown, her fourth title of the season, with a 39.25. Her superb vault was instrumental in helping the Owls set a new program record on the event (49.15). She is currently ranked No. 1 in the ECAC on vault, bars, floor and in the all-around. Castrence is also third on beam.
Up next, the Owls will return home to McGonigle Hall for the first time in a month to host Bowling Green and Penn on Friday for Alumni Night. The competition is set to begin at 7 p.m.
