Alina Liao ’09 took fifth place individually, but the gymnastics team finished seventh out of eight teams at this past weekend’s ECAC Championships in Williamsburg, Va. Towson won the event with 193.95 total points, while Yale finished with 186.65. The Elis, who have been stretched thin all season, had to overcome a pre-meet injury to Brigitte Kivisto ’10 — a...
At their biggest meet of the season, the gymnasts settled for second. Cornell won the Ivy League Championship with a 191.8, Yale placed second with a 189.05, and Penn (188.025) and Brown (186.725) brought up the rear in third and fourth place, respectively. “We’re a little disappointed we couldn’t pull out the Ivy Championship win,” Lauren Tatsuno ’09 said...
At their last home meet of the season, the women’s gymnastics team lost a close competition to Rutgers this past weekend on Senior Day. Despite a strong Eli performance at the end, the Scarlet Knights narrowly won the meet, 188.25 to 188.20.

Four gymnastics teams showed up in New Hampshire for the Fox Run Invitational, but there were just two that dominated the individual events and the final standings. The University of New Hampshire hosted Penn State, William & Mary and Yale in quad match largely dominated by the Nittany Lions and the home team. The 18th-ranked Penn State squad won the meet with a team...
You better have depth A team sends six athletes to compete in each event, with the top five scorers counting toward the team score. Occasionally, a seventh gymnast will participate as an exhibitionist, although her score does not count toward the team or individual rankings. The gymnasts are often honored for individual performances, in addition to the more important...
Yale women are so goddamned didactic. Why can’t we have some good, unmotivated graffiti around here for a change? Glance at the graffiti in the women’s bathrooms around campus and you’d think all Yale women were sex-starved, men hating, lonely, desperate lesbians or worried about being pregnant. But you can’t judge a college by its graffiti – and you can...
Swinging is one of the specialties of the women’s gymnastics team, and they definitely got back in the swing of things this week. After a disappointing showing on bars and a second place finish behind Southern Connecticut in their season opener last week at Springfield College in Mass., the Bulldogs came back and posted a team total of 187.7, defeating both Bridgeport...
During the question-and-answer period of his recent speech on “Antisemitic Hate Speech” at Yale University, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz asserted, once again, that torture has been abolished in Israel and that, at the most, Israel engages in practices that he would label as “extreme interrogation.” Furthermore, he led the audience to believe that the...
Freshmen lead the campaign for fencing at NCAA Championships The story of the year for the Yale fencing program has been its exceptional freshman class. Despite their relative inexperience, it was the freshmen who once again led the way at the 2007 NCAA Fencing Championships last Friday. Foilist John Gurrieri ’10 capped off an impressive rookie season with an 18th...
Although the Bulldogs reached perhaps the most emotional day of their season, the gymnastics team did anything but lose its focus in front of an adoring home crowd — one Yalie even came away with a victory over a World Champion. After a disappointing finish at last week’s Ivy Classic, the team triumphed against Brown, 188.800 to 185.825, at the last home meet of the...
For the Bulldogs, two falls made the difference between being Ivy League champions and coming in third. In an extremely close meet at the Ivy Classic, the Yale gymnastics team came in third with 190.55 points, only half a tenth behind second-place Cornell and one point behind host Penn, which won the meet. Although the team broke 190 points and scored a season-high...
