Four Gymnasts Earn Academic All-America

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Four members of the Ursinus College gymnastics team received All-America in Academics honors from the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA).

Breanna Couts, Skylar Haas, Eleanor LaFountain, and Sabrina Tusavitz all garnered the All-America in Academics Award, which is presented to gymnasts who maintain a 3.0 overall grade-point average and whose name appears on the team's NCGA squad list for the current year. Each nominee must qualify as a senior academically and be in her last year of athletic eligibility.

A psychology major, Couts was a starter on vault in every meet for the Bears, ranking third on the team with a season-average score of 9.5250.

A Media and Communication Studies major, Haas spent all season as a starter on the balance beam and floor exercise. She was one of the best beam artists in Division III, registering the second-highest SAS (9.7438) in the nation. Her 9.850 at Temple on January 31 was the best score in the country. Haas also tallied an SAS of 9.3813 on the floor with a season high of 9.500.

A Media and Communication Studies major, LaFountain came back from last year's season-ending injury to compete in six meets. She was a starter on the uneven bars and also performed on the floor exercise in the season finale at Temple. She notched a season high of 9.4750 on the bars at Temple on January 31, and posted two other scores of 9.400 or better.

Tusavitz, a Health & Exercise Physiology major, was a consistent contributor over her first three seasons. She posted career highs of 9.500 on the bars and 9.5250 on the floor.
