The previews have gotten much shorter just due to a variety of factors. Here’s the weekend ahead in a nutshell. Brown is off until next week. Southern Connecticut, Temple, #31 Maryland at Penn Friday 7pm, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA SCSU and Temple had a close meet against each other last week, and Penn continues to improve their scoring week to week. Maryland is one of the top teams on the eastern seaboard. Temple and Penn are working towards ECAC D1 Championships just two weeks from this weekend, and SCSU has their own championship meet that weekend as well. Maryland… more »

Apologies for the much shorter than usual previews. Just a matter of time constraints. Anyway, the week ahead for the region's teams is as follows: Towson, Temple, Southern Connecticut at Bridgeport University of Bridgeport, Wheeler Rec Center, 7pm Friday, March 5th. Towson is currently the ECAC Division 1 champion and their hosts Bridgeport are the reigning D2 champs in the ECAC as well, yet either of these teams could beat the other. Temple is a frequent opponent of each as well. Southern Connecticut is not only a frequent opponent of UB, and a presumed rival, but has also seen their… more »

    With conditions uncertain up in New Hampshire I cancelled my trip up there to cover the meet, but that gave me the chance to take in a club meet instead.    TOLLAND, CT- When the University of Connecticut club team started competing, Boston University hosted them in their first competitive meet, and when Sacred Heart's club team was reactivated after a lull, UConn served to host their return to action. Tri-Town Gymnastics was the scene as a group of parents and spectators gathered around each apparatus as the teams competed for the lone judge in attendance. It was… more »

(Scores from Troester) Utah State, Ball State, Yale at New Hampshire Lundholm Gymnasium, Sunday, January 17th, 1PM It will be a rare meet indeed when these four teams come together. Yale and UNH are familiar opponents, but Utah State and Ball State are certainly not. It could be a close meet between teams spread across the country. It will be the second meet in three days for Utah State. Ball State continues a string of road meets. Yale will be looking to open up their season with a new lineup following the graduation of three core senior members of it.… more »

NC State is the reigning EAGL champion. NC State hosted and participated in NCAA Regionals last season. NC State pointed out in their athletics release that they have 22 returning routines to their lineup. Both teams are in the EAGL. Rutgers posted a 188.925 in their loss to UNH.

For the Temple Owls, Cornell Big Red, and Bridgeport Purple Knights, this will be their first meet of the season, Maryland is hosting their first home meet after opening at LSU last week.

Normally I'd just cross post all of these but given the number of them here's just some links to my various modest previews for the approaching season posted over on the report: Yale Brown SCSU Bridgeport UNH Rutgers Springfield While I would like to write a preview for the Springfield's men team, it's true that what I don't know about women's gymnastics could fill books, I know even less about the dynamics of the men's side just due to not seeing as many meets, so I figure I can try to report on the goings on, but I'm less apt… more »

Head Coach Gail Goodspeed and the new meet announcer shared emceeing duties throughout the afternoon as the the UNH squad was divided up into two teams to showcase their routines in a light hearted competition between blue and white. One team was coached by Assistant Head… more »

I tend to not have much to write about in the college offseason and the preseason activities up here in the northeast are few and far between. But one bit of nice news, is that two club sports teams, one for the men and one for the women have been formed at MIT to carry on the sport up in Cambridge. I was thrilled to read in the student newspaper just last week of their return. It is unfortunate when varsity teams get cut and it keeps happening which is driving me nuts, but at least the sport lives on.… more »

When I entered college in 1998, I had been a gymnastics fan for some time, picking up the fandom largely the olympics of 1992, and following it through to 1996 in Atlanta, though I followed it a little less and by 98 I wasn't following it as much. Once settled into the University of Connecticut I started to follow the sport again though struggled to find the time and money to do more than just check websites from time to time. Eventually during grad school I had more time and money and even started websites on the sport, which soon… more »

(Scores utilized from official USAG sources and Troester) Day 1 Photos Day 2 Photos Day 3 Photos   NEW HAVEN, CT- USAG Collegiate Gymnastics Nationals, the unique and lesser known of the three gymnastics championships was held for three days at Southern Connecticut State University this past week. What resulted was a lot of exciting gymnastics, drama, and surprises. Any gymnast who has attained a spot on a collegiate team at any level, Division 1 to Division 3, has demonstrated a level of achievement in gymnastics that few reach. USAG nationals uses a formula to determine which teams may compete.… more »

I'll be at USAG Collegiate Nationals on the Campus of Southern Connecticut State University, but I'm waiting for official results to be posted after each session. Last time I was in New Haven there was an issue with the scores differing from the actual results so I don't want to pass along misinformation. But I will be providing a full wrap up as soon as I can. I can tell you that TWU is reporting that TWU, Bridgeport, Cornell, and William and Mary have qualified for team finals. I don't know who won All Around yet or the individual event… more »

(scores from eyewitness accounts verified against official sources.) NEW HAVEN, CT- The Towson University Tigers won their latest ECAC Division 1 Championship Saturday afternoon posting a 193.325, which edged Cornell’s 193.050 in a meet which had its share of controversy, and ended up with score adjustments after the results were presented to the crowd and the gymnasts who in Payne Whitney Gymnasium. In the end though it was Towson and Cornell in the top two positions followed by Temple’s 191.475, William and Mary’s 190.125, Pennsylvania’s 190.075, Brown’s 188.175, and Yale’s 184.450.

Photo Gallery (Eyewitness account verified against Troester scores.) The Spartans of Michigan State made their way to Durham, and came up with a win over the New Hampshire Wildcats, 195.675 to 195.35 on a day when UNH honored their seniors and was battling for rankings position in the hopes of making it to regionals. Some quick highlights before the full report is finished: For visiting MSU no gymnast scored lower than 9.725 on Vault including Katlyn Roggensack's 9.925. On the Bars, the Spartans five counted scores were 9.7 or above and Rochelle Robinson topped the team with a 9.875. On… more »

(Scores from eyewitness account verified against ECAC/Troester stats) [Photo Gallery] COLLEGEVILLE, PA- The SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles soared to the Division 3 ECAC Championship on Saturday with a 189.150, the Ithaca College Bombers were the closest finishers with their 187.950. The battle for third place and the last bid to nationals was much closer as SUNY Cortland’s 184.125 narrowly topped MIT’s 183.900, which edged Springfield’s 183.400,a and host Ursinus picked up a 182.600. It was an exciting meet with plenty of suspense as it wasn’t clear who was going to make it to nationals and win the various individual titles… more »

(Scores from eyewitness account, verified against troester, and yalebulldogs.com ) [Photo Gallery]  Routines: Cornell Penn Brown Yale NEW HAVEN, CT- Cornell's 190.800 won them the 2009 Ivy Classic, with Brown coming in second with a 188.400, Penn adding a 187.325, and Yale picking up a 185.200.? This would be the first week in a few that Yale would be able to put up five counted scores per event, though they were still missing gymnasts from their standard lineup.? Yale's Alina Liao would win the heavily contested all around with a 38.725. Kerri Lavallee from Cornell won Vault… more »

(Scores from Troester) Gymnastics doesn’t need storylines or scores to be interesting, the routines themselves are worthy of attention, but for those who like storylines and the competitions for the score there’s plenty this weekend in the northeast, with five meets in one day, including four at the same time, and two in the same city. EAGL teams trying to make their way into Regionals will meet up in New Hampshire. The four Ivy League teams will hold their annual meet to determine the Ivy Classic champions at Yale. Temple makes the trip up from Philadelphia to take on Southern… more »

It was senior day at Yale, and it's rare in collegiate gymnastics that two teams from the same city meet, but Division 2 SCSU Owls and Ivy League Division 1 team Yale Bulldogs met up.? Yale has been fighting sickness and injury which kept them from fielding a full team lineup, but on the individual level there was a great deal of competition between the Owls and the Bulldogs. Read the full report here. Photo Gallery Yale Routines List SCSU Routines List more »

My usual stuff. I didn't delve too deeply into Brown's trip to West Virginia, but I've got the score analysis, and the rotuines lists up. (I'm definately under the weather or there'd be more content.)http://gymnasticsreport.net/super/?p=560   A lot of big meets this weekend. New Hampshire is taking on Maryland and Penn State pretty much in the span of 24 hours. Bridgeport and Rutgers will cross paths (a clashing of knights not seen since king arthur) MIT has an ECAC meet and is coming off their best score of the year.  SCSU and Yale are meeting in another New Haven intracity… more »

Sorry for the delay, not only was I analyzing four teams worth of routines (so to speak) I also might have the flu. (This is the year for nuttiness.) >> Raw photo gallery. Anyhow... You can find the report over on Gymnastics Report.net with updated routine lists. Admittedly it was a tougher week than normal. But here's some highlights in brief. UNH scored two 9.9s amidst their solid team performances missing Helena Diodati from the lineup as well. They rebounded from a lower score last week to keep themselves going in the hunt for a regionals berth. The Air Force… more »

>> Raw photo gallery. Just made it back from The Granite State, will try to have a report done by tomorrow. Interesting meet, with UNH scoring well, Bridgeport picking up 2nd, and a rare visit by Air Force, which was fun to see. Yale is fighting a depleted lineup and currently can't field the minimum competitiors due to injuries and illness, which sucks beause there's a lot of talent on there.     more »

I've posted modest previews for all the meets involving New England teams this weekend. They finally have more content about the routines, though I'm still tweaking. MIT at Ithaca Preview Air Force, Bridgeport, Yale at UNH Preview Southern Connecticut, West Chester, at Penn Preview Brown, UW-Stout, at Arizona Preview Rutgers at SUNY Cortland Mini-Preview more »

Some are more complete then others and a few I need to double check. I also will be tweaking every week now. I not only try to double check that I identified the routines correctly, but also try to write up each routine in laymen's terms. Some I've gotten farther with than others, but there's at least a basic list up. + SCSU 08-09 + MIT 08-09 + Brown 08-09 + Yale 08-09 + Bridgeport 08-09 + UNH 08-09 + Rutgers 08-09 more »

It would be a good day for both the Bridgeport Purple Knights and their hosts in the Brown Bears, but Bridgeport would also pick up the win and a school record score. First look report here I will be breaking down the routines this week. I already have a list of routines Bridgeport does up on Gymnasticsreport.net, but I'll be adding one for Brown later in the week.

by David F.P.(Scores from Troester, still waiting on Brockport scores to be posted.) (Photo Gallery Here) NEW HAVEN, CT- SCSU picked up the win putting up a 185.95 to top SUNY Brockport’s 184.55 and MIT’s 175. In the highly competitive All Around MIT’s Julia Zimmerman took the title with a 37.825, to Brockport’s Kaitlin Dewey’s 37.625 and SCSU’s Taylor Murray’s 37.400. On the Vault, Zimmerman picked up the top score with a 9.55, a Brockport gymnast was second, and Brockport’s Lauren Gildemeyer was third with a 9.40. On the Bars, it was SCSU’s specialist Sarah Darst with a 9.65, Zimmerman… more »

By David F.P.(Scores from eyewitness viewing and checked against Troester.)NEW HAVEN, CT- It hasn’t been often in recent memory that Bridgeport has picked up the win over Yale but Yale is currently shorthanded and Bridgeport is loaded with specialists adding to a combination that led to the win despite Yale putting their talented core out there as well. There was good news all around though as Yale improved its scoring and had frequent started Brigitte Kivisto in the lineup for two events rather than just one as had been the case the past few weeks.Rotation 1 opened with Yale on… more »

Here we go, previews of every meet I can really talk about. (MIT is also in action but just expect a report on how they do this week.) Without futher delay...the meets!

For two straight weeks it has snowed and snowed a lot blocking my attempts to get to area meets as my car is a tough car, and a good car, and an old car, but it hates the snow, and only through a miracle made it out of a blizzard or two last year. Unfortunately as the only car in the Gymnasticsreport.net fleet of cars (chuckle) it has to be protected. This past week with no snow on the horizon but two meets to go to I decided to rest the car and our story begins on Friday January 23rd… more »

(Scores from Troester and Eyewitness) ( Modest Photo Gallery Here )Southern Connecticut travelled up to central Massachusetts and picked up the victory Saturday afternoon posting a 188.4. Due to the other meet in Bridgeport, I was only up there briefly but did get to see SCSU start off on the Uneven Bars. Justine Basley put up a 9.7 and anchor Sarah Darst added a 9.65. Samantha Laraway, Arianna Mallardi, and Taylor Murray added to the posted scores solidly.   On the Vault, it was Southern’s lowest score of the meet but still a solid 46.475. Murray and Basley led the… more »

(Scores from Troester and Eyewitness Account. More analysis coming next week due to unforeseen circumstances.) ( Modest photo gallery here. )   BRIDGEPORT, CT- An interesting mix of New England teams assembled in the Wheeler Recreation Center within a stone’s throw of Long Island Sound down in Bridgeport. For the University of New Hampshire, each week was part of the ongoing battle to stay within the top 36 teams in the country and earn a return to regionals. For Bridgeport, they were building towards not only a run at the ECAC D2 title, but potential regional attendee slots, and overall prestige… more »

(Scores from Troester and Eyewitness account.)(Further analysis will be coming next week due to unforeseen eventualities.) ( Modest Photo Gallery Here ) PROVIDENCE, RI- The Engineers from MIT took the drive down I-95 to meet their frequent opponent in the Brown Bears. For Brown it would be the second straight home meet of the year after hosting Towson in the season opener. MIT was looking to build off a couple of tough scoring weeks as well. Also in town was the University of Rhode Island club team, which has risen from the ashes of the team’s cut as a varsity… more »

I travelled to every meet in New England this weekend (though I had to leave one early to get to another) and saw every New England team in action, including the URI club team. I am working on more analysis of moves and floor music, as well as uploading photos, but here are links to the preliminary reports. I will post the more updated reports with the stuff I just mentioned in gymnastike itself, but thought it more economical to link right now. A more in detail post about the crazy weekend I just endured will follow as well. MIT… more »

Just got back from Providence, with a new camera (two actually) but even so there was some technically difficulties. Needless to say I've got a lot of information to try to weed through and such and will as fast as possible. But on the plus side, I saw every team in New England this weekend and that is a rarity. Even the URI club team was there. Plenty more updates to come!! more »

I'm just back from Bridgeport. I have no team scores to report because they weren't announced so I will have to wait for them on the website. I am working on a report though my camera broke halfway through the meet and I was unable to record those routines to comment on. But I will do my best with what info I have. More to come when I can add it. more »

By David F.P. Very soon I will be doing individual previews for the meets but with the season barely a few weeks old and some teams having their first meets last week, it’s still early yet. (Scores from Troester) While all team members contribute in tangible and intangible ways, I use scores which are meant to serve as a snapshot of the top scorers for each team on each event. It’s not an exact science where I cut off the top scorers mark, more of an eyeballing it thing. More detailed info will come in later weeks. Yale, New Hampshire… more »

by David F.P. (Scores from Troester) Here’s just a quick look at the past weekend in New England/New Jersey College Gymnastics. (literally typed hastily for time reasons) There will be more detailed posts to come in future weeks featuring discussions of routines, and more than just score posts. The first few weeks are tough as I rarely see more than a few teams first hand, and in this case due to weather haven’t seen any except on video. As the weeks go on as well I will also delve into more context regarding the teams faced as well as the… more »

My trip to Brown was called off by a large snow storm, a variety of accidents and an official warning from the State of Rhode Island. However I did watch the meet on line and we'll be able to provide some insights to Brown later in the week. I am currently waiting for all the scores and info to come out about this past week and then I'll be able to start writing about this past week and look towards next week where hopefully it will not snow again. New England gets snow but this is ridiculous. More updates to… more »

Here’s what’s happening in New England and New Jersey collegiate gymnastics for the weekend of the 16th through through the 18th + Rutgers travels down to D.C. for the GW Invite which includes William and Mary, Temple, Cornell, North Carolina, and naturally George Washington on Friday night. + New Hampshire travels to Pittsburgh to take on the fellow EAGL team in a quad meet as Air Force will be in town and Bridgeport starts their season on the road in Western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh scored 191.675 last week and New Hampshire scored 191.575 and Air Force and Bridgeport aren’t slouches either.… more »

UNH is a very interesting piece of this story but they're just the tip of the iceberg. While the majority of coverage in college gym is devoted to the top ranked teams, and sometimes extends into the regional powers of the top 36 (those who get to regionals.) the northeast region of the U.S. remains replete with story lines. While very few teams reach the top echelon of the rankings, Penn State being the exception, no one gets to be a college gymnast without being very good at the sport so the action is still very intense. But beyond just… more »

Using what I have to work with I’ve got mini-reports up from this weekend in New England gymnastics as well as preliminary looks at the routines UNH and Rutgers are doing. Rutgers at UNH mini meet report Mini report for MIT, Yale, SCSU meets UNH routines page (It’s a start, more updates to come.) Rutgers routines page (Also a work in progress.) I’ll also be writing up a Bridgeport season preview, as well as previewing this weeks meets, delving into the regional picture more, and updating the floor music lists if possible. I'll also have some mini-updates as well aside… more »

The weather reports are so scary down here that even though it might have been possible for me to slip into Boston and out again it's also possible I might have ended up stranded on the Mass pike the way the weather guys are putting it. I rarely avoid meets due to weather but I've learned to respect what Mother Nature can deliver. Now of course because I cancelled the snow will probably arrive tomorrow or something but who knows. I did purchase the UNH online package though so I will be watching and commenting on Rutgers at UNH at… more »

The week ahead in New England College Gymnastics will be a busy one with four meets Saturday January 10th at 1PM. Southern Connecticut opens up the season at D3 Springfield. It will be the first competition for the Owls to try out their new lineup and see how the new additions will do mixed with the veterans. Bridgeport is having their team selection meet which is a mystery as to what that means, but presumably given it’ll affect the lineup composition the following week. Rutgers at New Hampshire, Durham, NH. The two EAGL teams will open up the season at… more »

I’ve posted modest team previews, which certainly have plenty of limitations as usual, but should they be of any interest they’re up. Bridgeport’s preview is coming next week. I wanted to add more color to them, but time didn’t allow it, but I will be putting that into meet reports. http://gymnasticsreport.net/super/index.php?cat=16 (Sometimes I'll just post the info here directly, but it makes more sense just to link to the content this time.) As a fan the amount that I don’t know about gymnastics far outweighs what I do know so these previews are basically based on what I can write… more »

I've finally settled on the meets I'll be travelling to, mainly to cover them for Gymnasticsreport.net, but a few will be just to visit including some non-college events. I don't think I can say enough how much I'll miss seeing URI in action. What more is there to say... For those not familiar with the site (namely everyone haha) I post reports on the college meets I attend and try to identify as many routine elements as possible as well as floor music and provide an overall report on the meets and the teams. The focus is New England because… more »

Although I'm new to Gymnastike I've had a familiar refrain across the small but vibrant internet gymnastics community arguing that gymnastics as a sport needs far more coverage from the media. I believe that the media should pay more attention to the elite scene, especially between Olympics, but even beyond that, far more media coverage should go to collegiate gymnastics which is comprised of some amazing athletes, but not only is largely overlooked by the sports world, these has been programs being cut over the years and it's certainly possible that trend could continue. The truth is many of the… more »
