TOWSON, Md. – This week's Student-Athlete Spotlight features Towson University gymnast
Paige Casper.
After being in the lineup on the balance beam and floor exercise as a freshman, Casper has been a dependable floor specialist for head coach
Jay Ramirez the last three seasons – earning second team All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) honors in both 2021 and 2023.
In 13 meets this season, the Carmel, Indiana native averaged 9.750 as the floor team scored 49.000 or more eight times. She won the event three times, including posting career-best 9.925 scores in victories at Penn on Feb. 12 and two weeks later on senior day at SECU Arena.
Casper and classmates
Jenna Weitz, Amy Stewart, Lauren Bolen and
Camille Vitoff, who arrived in the fall of 2019 without a head coach, are poised to make the NCAA regionals for the third consecutive season. The Tigers finished the regular season 26-7-1 and are currently ranked 31
st in the Road to Nationals standings.
Casper, a 3.6 student who will graduate in May with a Communications Studies degree, and her teammates will be in New Hampshire this weekend for the EAGL championship meet. The Tigers were runners-up a year ago and finished third in 2021.
