PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The University of Pennsylvania gymnastics team placed first among Cornell, George Washington, and William & Mary with a season-high 196.000. The Revolutionaries placed second with a 194.650, with the Big Red (192.650) and Tribe (190.875) placing third and fourth.

VAULT – 48.925
When your season high of a 48.925 is the third best rotation of the meet, you know you had a great night. The Quakers came out firing and set the tone for the night. Junior Jordan Barrow got things going for Penn, ending the rotation with a 9.850, good for first on the evening.

BARS – 48.625
The Quakers gave a very consistent effort on the bars, with four of five scores in the 9.7's. Junior Barrow once again took home the crown for the rotation with a score of 9.775. Junior Luci Toczydlowski and senior Marissa Lassiter were just behind at 9.750 and 9.725, respectively.

BEAM – 49.375
The highlight of not only the night, but the year thus far for the Quakers was the beam. The Red and Blue secured their second highest team rotation score on the beam in program history. No Penn gymnast scored below 9.850, with the pinnacle being sophomore Manama Fofana's 9.925. That score is tied for second in Penn history on the beam. In a what has already been a career year for Fofana, she continues to get better.

FLOOR – 49.075
After earning one, 49 point rotation through the first four meets of the year, the Quakers secured two in one night. Another incredibly consistent effort was the name of the game for the floor. Sophomore Mimi Fletcher opened things with a 9.775 with Ava Hooten following with a 9.825. Maggie Murphy (9.800), Marissa Lassiter (9.850), and Manama Fofana (9.825) closed the rotation.

Rotation Notes
* The Quakers' 196.000 is the sixth-best team score in program history. It is only the sixth time Penn has accomplished such a feat.
* Penn's 49.375 is not only the second best score ever on the beam, but is also the third best score in history among any single rotation. 49.475's on the balance beam (2023) and floor (2022) are the only rotation scores that are better.
* Sophomore Manama Fofana has now broken a personal best of her's in three consecutive weeks.
