Corvallis, Ore. – The Centenary gymnastics team will open its 2020 season on Saturday when the Ladies compete in a road meet at Oregon State University against the host Beavers and Seattle Pacific at 1 p.m. local time at Gill Coliseum.
The Ladies placed fifth at the Midwest Independent Conference Championships held in Shreveport last spring. Three Ladies earned USA Gymnastics All-American honors and senior Navia Jordan was a First Team All-American. Jordan, who earned four different All-American honors in her career, finished a runner-up on the floor and placed third on the beam in the event finals of the USA Gymnastics Championships in April.
Centenary's roster features two seniors, Cami Bea Austin (Memphis, Tenn.) and Dorothy Mims (Huntsville, Ala.) and eight freshmen. Head coach Jackie Fain enters her ninth season at the helm and has had an incredibly successful first eight years with the Maroon and White. Fain, the 2013 Midwest Intercollegiate Conference Coach of the Year, has mentored 10 different athletes to 27 All-American accolades by the USAG, 14 all-conference recognitions, two USAG National Meet team appearances and the highest team score (193.975 in 2013) since the 2005 season.
