It’s time for round two of the GEC championship, featuring the top four ranked teams in the conference. This one is bound to be a doozy.
Penn enters this meet as the favorite and reigning champion. However, at the 2023 Ivy Classic, Brown took the crown after having a season-high day. With conference taking place on a neutral playing ground for all four of these teams, no one will have the home-floor advantage. This bodes well on the Penn front as Brown took Ivies in Providence.
Pennsylvania has been pushing boundaries all season. Marissa Lassiter has made a name for herself as a freshman, while the duo of Marr sisters have been marking their names in the history books. Brown has had a rise of its own, with leaders such as Julia Bedell and Angela Xing leading the way. West Chester has been strong and steady all year, peaking just at the right time. Lily McFarland is an athlete to watch out for, especially on beam. Yale has been up and down but fearless leader Raegan Walker has not failed to hit when it counts. Not to mention freshman Hana Strause has starting announcing her presence.
While this meet is likely to be a race between Penn and Brown, the other two teams could make some waves with a major hit here.
