WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – William & Mary women's gymnastics head coach
Kelsey Hinton announced that three student-athletes will join the program for the 2020-21 academic year.
The talented incoming class features a pair of freshmen and a sophomore transfer from Towson University.
"I am thrilled to have Grace, Sofia, and Sarah join our family!," Hinton said. "Sofia and Grace are our incoming freshmen and although a small class, they do big gymnastics. I look forward to them being able to showcase their talents. Both are very hard workers in and out of gym and will add depth and consistency to our lineups.
