Gymnastics Picked Second in EAGL Preseason Poll

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – With less than three weeks until the 2022 season, the Towson University women's gymnastics program was picked second in a poll of the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) head coaches.

The Tigers, who reached the NCAA Regional meet last spring, picked up 44 points, landing second behind NC State, which was first with 58 points along with two first-place votes. Reigning champion Temple and North Carolina tied for third place with 43 points. Temple had two first place votes while the Tar Heels had one first-place nod.

George Washington (35), New Hampshire (30) and Pittsburgh ranked fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively, each picking up one first place vote. LIU was picked eighth with eight points.

Last spring, Towson finished third overall at the EAGL Championship meet at the Petersen Events Center at Pittsburgh. The Tigers earned 195.875 points, trailing only Temple (196.500) and NC State (196.050).

Back guiding the Tigers is 2021 EAGL Head Coach of the Year, Jay Ramirez, now in his third season at the helm. Assistant coach Ashley Sauer, the 2021 EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year, returns to the sidelines as well.

Towson returns a large contingent of All-EAGL selections, including first teamers Camille Vitoff (vault, all-around), Lauren Bolen (vault), Emerson Hurst (beam), Jenna Weitz (beam) and Amy Stewart (floor).
