BALTIMORE, Md. -- The NC State gymnastics team tallied 32 points and two first-place votes to claim the top spot in the 2019 EAGL Preseason Poll, as announced by the East Atlantic Gymnastics League Wednesday. The Pack is followed by New Hampshire with 28 points and George Washington with 25 points.
Straight from the Pack: Coach Kim Landrus
"Being ranked first in the preseason poll is an honor. However, a new season is upon us and we will continue to work very hard to maintain that ranking. Constant daily improvement has been the theme of preseason. The team is excited for the 2019 campaign and can't wait to get started."
