March 5, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the first team this season and third time in her career, junior Julia Zimmerman was selected as the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Gymnast of the Week. The honor tops off an outing in she which she returned to all-around action after a three-week hiatus. In a quad meet that featured SUNY Brockport, Southern Connecticut State University, and Ithaca College, Zimmerman set a new MIT standard on the vault and tied the Institute record in the floor exercise. She produced an Institute record-tying tally of 9.775 on the floor exercise to tie for fourth in the event, while also winning the vault with an MIT record mark of 9.675. Zimmerman's floor exercise score equaled the mark held jointly by herself and Sonja Ellefson, while her score on the vault broke her own record of 9.650. The Chicago, Ill., native also placed sixth on the bars (9.475) and 10th on the beam (9.100) en route to a runner-up finish in the all-around with a season-high mark of 38.025. |
