The Wolfpack received three first-place votes
BALTIMORE- As the 2016 season approaches, the NC State gymnastics team enters the season listed second in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Preseason Poll, announced Tuesday by the conference.
Â
Based on a poll by the league's six head coaches, the Wolfpack received 30 points and three first-place votes. Just one point ahead of the Pack in the poll is defending EAGL Champion George Washington, who also collected three first-place votes.
Rounding out the top three of the conference standings is New Hampshire with 27 points. Head coaches were not allowed to vote for their team in the poll.
Â
Last season NC State finished at No. 25 in the final Troester.com rankings, the highest-ranked EAGL team among the national standings.
Â
NC State returns 12 members from last year's squad, including NCAA qualifiers Michaela Woodford and Brittni Watkins. Watkins earned second-team All-America honors after an eighth-place finish on beam at last year's championship.
Â
The Pack enters the 2016 season with four freshmen on its roster: Caitlin Fillard, twins Alexa and Paris Phillips and Maggie Tamburro. Alexa and Paris, who signed NLIs in November, will arrive to Raleigh in January.
Â
The team will open its season Jan. 9 when it travels to Penn State for a dual meet, which is set for a 4:00 p.m. start.Â
