RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State gymnastics team looks to continue its hot streak into this week's Sweetheart Invite on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7 pm. The Wolfpack has averaged over a 194 team score over the past three meets after averaging less than a 192 for the first three of the 2009 season.

For the second straight week, junior Taylor Seaman and freshman Brooke Barr earned weekly EAGL honors. Seaman was named Gymnast of the Week for the third time in her career and Barr earned Rookie of the Week honors for the third time this season.
Seaman is second in EAGL in average score for the all-around and third in the floor exercise. In six meets this season, Seaman has won nine event titles and finished in the top-3 a total of 15 times. The rest of the Wolfpack team has notched 21 top-3 finishes on the year. She has won four floor titles in the six meets, and finished second last weekend despite scoring an impressive 9.9 at the Governor's Cup.

Another freshman, Jess Panza, leads the team and ranks seventh in EAGL on vault after scoring 9.8s in both of her meets this season.
