PHILADELPHIA – For the second straight week, a member of the University of Pennsylvania gymnastics team has garnered a weekly honor, as sophomore Skyelar Kerico was named Gymnastics East Conference (GEC) Gymnast of the Week on Wednesday afternoon.
 
This is Kerico's third GEC weekly award and second Gymnast of the Week honor of her career.
 
Kerico rolled for Penn in a two-meet weekend, contributing to team scores of 194.550 and 193.750, respectively, at Friday's Towson Invite and Sunday's Alumni Meet at The Palestra.
 
She set two new career-best scores in the all-around, debuting Friday with a 39.150 and then breaking it again with a 39.225 on Sunday, tied for the second-best all-around score in program history.
 
In competition against GEC foes Bridgeport, Cornell and William & Mary, Kerico won three events—vault (9.825), uneven bars (9.850) and balance beam (9.775)—including two outright (bars and beam).
 
The Quakers close out their short homestand Friday night against Temple at 6 p.m. The Senior Meet is set to be streamed live on ESPN+ and NBC Sports Philadelphia+ with live scoring provided via Virtius.
