Beck is peaking at the right moment for the Tribe.  This past weekend, she posted two more great all-around scores and put herself in the Tribe record books once again.  At the senior meet against Temple on Sunday, Beck not only had a career high all-around (38.9) - but that score put her in the record books for fifth all time best all-around score for W&M.  Beck posted season highs on floor and vault, posting a 9.8 on both events.  She was the top scorer for the Tribe on these events as well.  She also posted the Tribe's best score on beam, tying with a fellow teammate, with a 9.6.  Beck also swung aggressively and cleanly on the bars to take second only to her teammate with an impressive 9.7.  She also had a great meet at NC State last Friday.  She notched a 9.75 on vault and a 9.725 on bars.  She hit a clean floor routine for a 9.5, and despite her slight miss on beam - she still took top honors for the Tribe and posted a 38.225 all-around score.  Beck has consistently been one of the top scorers on multiple events this season for the Green and Gold. Week after week, the junior transfer is inching her way closer to that AA school record as well as setting her own personal bests.

Talis Trevino-Yale University
Sophomore, Marietta, Georgia

Trevino badly dislocated her elbow last year and could not compete until the last meet of season. This past year she broke her ankle and just came back to compete during the season on a limited basis. She landed a career high of a 9.75 on floor exercise in a very difficult competition. She has been through a really tough two years and has handled it beautifully.
