Navy won Men’s ECAC

Men’s Gymnastics has only 3 conferences: MPSF, ECAC, and Big Ten.

Going into ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) Championships it was clear that Navy would take the cake and run away with the title, which they did with an astounding 401.85. Based on championships scores from around the country, this puts Navy in real contention to make the super six at NCAAs. While this feat is remarkable, it was not the story of the night.

Now I can say this: ⠀ I’m proud of myself! I’m proud of my performance! And I’m glad I went to the Olympics! 🎉 ⠀ This is my sports pride for life ♥️”
