PISCATAWAY, NJ- The Rutgers club gymnastics team held its first home meet Saturday morning, and in came reigning national champion URI, and Maryland’s club team as well.

PROVIDENCE, RI- The Bridgeport Purple Knights picked up another batch of victories Sunday evening scoring 190.225 while the Brown Bears at home picked up a season high 188.550, and Ivy League rival, the Penn Quakers, scored a 183.975. Also in attendance, was the URI Club Team. Because the only home meet left at Brown is the Ivy Classic, which is technically a championship meet, it was Senior Day at Brown. Before the event began, Brown took a moment to honor two seniors, Izzy Kirkham-Lewitt and Helen Segal. Each has made contributions to the team throughout their years at Brown, in various events this season and in the past. Each was honored for their work outside the gym as well.
