Recap (Ursinus v Penn)

The Big Storyline: Originally scheduled to face Bridgeport, Ursinus stepped in after Bridgeport could no longer attend due to COVID protocols. After competing once already this weekend, Ursinus went ahead and rested a few gymnasts, put a few new faces in the lineup and added nearly three points to its team score. The result? A new season high in addition to several event highs. What a weekend! Host Penn notched a new season high and best home score in program history, all while counting a fall. After all that, the all-around title was a difference of just 0.075 between Alyssa DeLorme and Sydney Kraez.  

Implications: Penn easily continues to lead the GEC, with Yale nearly a full point behind. All that’s left for Penn is to continue its streak of big scores to close out its season and possibly eye the title of the first GEC championship. With this big score, Ursinus should find itself moving up a few spots in the East, and with NQS in account, it should be within the top half. In the NCGA as a whole, it should improve as well.

Records: Penn set a program record on vault with a 49.175. For Ursinus, Alyssa DeLorme set a new career-high with a 9.650 on bars, as did Carly Troilo and Adison Tanguay both with a 9.275. Alyssa DeLorme set a new high in the all-around with a 38.275.
