Quaker Notemeal
*Penn returns five All-GEC first-team selections (Jordan Barrow, Emma Davies, Skyelar Kerico, Sophia Paris, and Samantha Wu) and three second-team honorees (Zara Gazdak, Marissa Lassiter, and Isabel Song) from its championship-winning campaign.
 
*Kerico enters her junior season as the reigning GEC Gymnast of the Year. The Toms River, N.J. native shattered the Penn record books, claiming the top three all-around scores in program history. At the GEC Championships, she won the balance beam and the all-around, becoming the first Penn gymnast to win two individual titles since head coach Kirsten Becker did it herself at the 2012 ECAC Championships.
 
*Freshmen Mimi Fletcher, Manama Fofana, Skylar Goodstadt, Luci Toczydlowski, Sienna Zuccaro, and sophomore Makenna Damhorst are all set to begin their Penn careers on Sunday.
 
*Becker is back for her fourth season at the helm. Last year, she became the first head coach in program history to win three conference championships. She's joined alongside assistant coach Casey Zacot.
 
*The Quakers and Nittany Lions faced off at last year's Keystone Classic at The Palestra. Penn State won the meet with a team score of 194.725 while Penn placed third with a score of 192.575.
 
*Penn and New Hampshire competed against each other three times in the 2023 season. They split road meet wins before the Wildcats (195.600) narrowly edged out the Quakers (195.100) at the Maryland Quad Meet.
