Gymnastics: Inflexible optimismHeading into the Ivy Classic, on Sun., Feb. 28, Yale's women's gymnastics team was optimistic. After a competitive performance against Brown the previous weekend, the team felt prepared for the competition. However, their results fell short of expectations. "Overall it was a really disappointing weekend," Betty Ky, TC '00, said. "We really expected to be in close competition with everyone."The Elis placed third out of four teams, and are still wondering what went wrong. "We don't really know what happened," Ky said. "We had a far from perfect meet both individually and team-wise." Although the weekend was disappointing, several competitions and rematches remain for the Bulldogs. The ECAC tournament is close on the horizon, and there the Elis will have the chance at rematches against most of the other Ivy squads. While all gymnasts are known for their physical flexibility, one thing is certain about the attitudes of the gymnasts on this team: they're not wavering. With a tough weekend at the Ivy Classics behind them, the women's gymnastics team is firmly rooted in its dedication to future success. "Most important is our positive mental attitude," Ky said. "Everyone's really been fighting and giving their all." --Alison Morris
