WASHINGTON, DC - The Rutgers gymnastics team placed third at the six-team George Washington/Lindsey Ferris Invitational Sunday afternoon inside the Charles E. Smith Athletic Center in Washington, DC.

"This was a good meet for this team," Rutgers head coach Chrystal Chollet-Norton said. "I am proud of the way they came back in the bars and vault. We gained experience against teams in the EAGL that we will face again this year. We also showed how competitive the league is with all three EAGL teams finishing in the top three."
