Panthers Place Sixth at Conference Meet
PITTSBURGH – Pitt senior Jordan Ceccarini tied her career-best score on floor exercise to earn a share of the event crown at the 2021 East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Championship hosted at the Petersen Events Center Saturday night.
Ceccarini's career high-tying 9.900 was good for a three-way title on floor, along with Kendall Whitman of George Washington and Faith Leary of Temple. Ceccarini is Pitt's first event champion since Brittany West won balance beam with a 9.900 at the 2017 EAGL Championship.
As a team, Pitt placed sixth overall with a score of 194.350. Temple earned the team title with a 196.500, marking their first championship in their first season as a member of the EAGL.
The Panthers earned their highest floor exercise team score of the year with a 49.050.
COCA NAMED SENIOR GYMNAST OF THE YEAR
Pitt's Katrina Coca was named the 20201 Senior Gymnast of the Year following the championship meet. Taking an unconventional path to her senior season at Pitt, Coca persevered through multiple injuries, including a ruptured Achilles in 2020, to compete as an all-arounder for the Panthers in 2021. Her return to competition included five individual event titles and a second-place ranking in the EAGL on bars.
FLOOR
Four Panthers earned career- or season-best scores on floor exercise, including Ceccarini (9.900), sophomore Lauren Beckwith (9.825), freshman Trinity Macy (9.800) and sophomore Ciara Ward (9.775). Coca and junior Olivia Miller each contributed a 9.750 to round out scoring. Pitt's strong start included a season-best team score on floor exercise of 49.050.
VAULT
Beckwith continued her strong start to the meet with her second career-best score of the night, earning a 9.775 on vault. Ward and Miller also tallied scores of 9.775. Ceccarini (9.750), Coca (9.675) and sophomore Emily Liszewski (9.675) completed scoring for Pitt. The Panthers totaled 97.800 after recording a 48.750 on vault.
BARS
Coca led the way for Pitt with a 9.875, earning second place overall for the event. It was a tough rotation for the Panthers, with five gymnasts competing. The Panthers earned a 47.650 to total 145.450 through three events.
BEAM
In the final rotation, Beckwith paced Pitt with a 9.850 on balance beam, followed by Coca with a 9.825. Ceccarini totaled 9.775, while Macy and junior Katie Chamberlain each recorded scores of 9.725. In total, Pitt earned sixth place overall with a team score of 194.350, after a 48.900 showing in the last event of the night.
ALL-AROUND
Coca earned fourth place, just shy of her career-best score with a 39.125. Miller (38.525) and Beckwith (38.400) placed ninth and 10th, respectively.
