Gymnastics Travels to Kent State for Sunday Dual Meet
1.8.16 | Women's Gymnastics
PHILADELPHIA – Following the program's best season-opening score since 2011, Temple women's gymnastics hits the road this weekend for another Sunday dual meet. The Owls are matching up with the Kent State Golden Flashes at 1 p.m. in the University's M.A.C Center.
Sunday's meet will be the second regular-season matchup between the two teams. The teams last met in 1990 at a tri-meet with Pittsburgh where the Panthers topped both squads with a score of 183.75, followed by the Flashes (180.50) and the Owls (179.75).
The Owls are coming off a dual meet at Central Michigan University where they posted a 188.9 and featured high marks from a number of athletes. Sophomores Sahara Gipson and Kerry Arone competed in the all-around with Gipson posting the highest collective score of 37.75 and hitting all four routines. She led the Owls on vault and bars with a 9.65 and 9.55, respectively.
Arone earned one of three top marks on beam, where freshman Breahna Wiczkowski, senior Reagan Oliveri and Arone kicked off the event with two scores of 9.7 and a 9.6.
Junior Briana Odom kicked off her third season with a career-high 9.725 on floor and earned a 9.625 on the vault, which ranked second for the team.
This competition will be the first of 2016 for the Flashes who ended their 2015 season as the Mid-American Conference Champions and earned a season-high 196.8. Sophomore Rachel Stypinski also saw post-season action as a freshman for Kent State, qualifying for NCAA Regionals on beam and floor.
A live stream of the competition will be available here.
