“With a host of talented returners and several strong freshmen, we have reason to be optimistic,” said coach Posner. “We’re looking forward to competing for our third-straight New England Championship, and I’m feel that several of our gymnasts will qualify nationally in their events. We are also excited to host the ECAC Championships in March and hope to improve upon our finish at the national meet.”
