PHILADELPHIA -- Temple gymnast Ariana Castrence further entrenched herself into the Owls' record book on Friday night, re-setting her own All-Around record as the Cherry and White hosted a tri-meet at McGonigle Hall. The junior scored a program best 39.350 as Temple (194.175) took third against George Washington (195.700) and Towson (195.550) on Alumni Night.

> Her 39.350 bested her previous program record of 39.275, which she set on January 18, 2020.
Meet Notes
