“It was a fantastic meet and considering all the injuries and all the setbacks we’ve had, it was a great way to end our season,” Hall said.
“[Receiving a 10 has] only happened to one other person,” Hall said. “Only two people in school history got a ten from a judge.”
The team has struggled on beam throughout the season and scored an overall 47.075 on Saturday. During the Rutgers meet, however, they redeemed themselves with a markedly improved 48.300 score.
The Red will hold its first meet at Bartels Hall of the season next Sunday.
Showing marked improvement on the beam, the Red topped its season high and edged out Yale.
First-place finished by three Cornell gymnasts led the Red to a strong finish.
“The seniors this year carry the team a lot,” said sophomore Amy Shen. “They all compete a lot and contribute to the team scores … This current senior class is such a powerhouse.”
“The legacy I hope to leave this team is that the hard work and attitude you put into any experience is exactly what you will get out of it.”
“Our goal as a team is to improve at every meet and compete with confidence and consistency.”
Cornell was able to find success in the semifinals on Friday evening when the Red set a school record in its team finish and also qualified three athletes for the individual finals on Sunday.
