LATEST FORM
After a bit of a slow start to the season, Penn is streaking after two weekends with a combined score of at least 193.825. It started at the Teal Meet on Feb. 3 when Penn put together a winning score of 193.900 thanks to season-high tallies on bars, beam and floor. Last weekend at the Pink Meet, Penn recorded a score of 193.825 to finish third of four, behind two top-50 teams in West Virginia and Bridgeport. Once again, the Quakers set season highs in bars and floor.
On bars last weekend, all of Penn's top-five scorers finished with at least a 9.700, led by Jordyn Mannino's 9.850, matching the fifth-best score on bars in program history. The scores on floor were similar, with Penn securing five tallies of at least a 9.700. This time, freshman Sydney Kraez led the way with a 9.800. Senior Caroline Moore also eclipsed the 9.800 range on beam.
SENIOR DAY
Penn will celebrate the careers of five seniors who will be competing in their penultimate home meet in the Red and Blue. The group of Morgan Hunker, Nicole Swirbalus, senior captains Caroline Moore and Valerie Rube join manager Alberta Massey as the five Quakers that will be honored following the meet.
A FEBRUARY IN FAMILIAR CONFINES
Sunday marks the third time in as many weekends that Penn will compete in The Palestra. After the Teal Meet on Feb. 3 and the Pink Meet on Feb. 10, just the Rumble & Tumble event and the Ivy Classic on Sunday, Feb. 24 remain on the Quakers' home schedule.
