The College at Brockport gymnastics team jumped to a first-place win at the Harriett Marranca Memorial Invitational held at Ithaca College, as the Golden Eagles won a myriad of titles.

Stacy Johnson took the all-around title, which helped bring the team to their domination of both host Ithaca and Wilson College, scoring 184.375 points, while the Bombers could only muster a total of 182.52 and the Phoenix placed third with a score of 166.400.

Brockport dominated nearly all four events, taking first or second -place rankings in the beam, floor exercise and vault.
Lauren Gildemeyer tied for the top spot for the floor exercise with an Ithaca College gymnast, with a 9.550 score. Amanda Giannone finished third for the same event. Other Eagles that finished in the top for floor exercise included Nikki Fisher and Stephanie Baker.

“In regards to this past weekend, I think that as a team, we are finally starting to become more consistent and confident with our performances,” Gildemeyer said. “Although we could still use a bit of improvement on some of the littler things, we are looking to be on the right track for having another successful ECAC competition.”
