"There are some big changes starting this season in how our rankings are calculated," said Crowley.
"Previously, we were able to drop more scores throughout our season, but now all scores will be counting. We've been working hard to prepare for this change and start our season off strong on January 11."
A look back at last season:
Centenary capped one of its most memorable seasons last April after serving as host for the 2025 Women's Collegiate Gymnastics National Invitational Championships at the Gold Dome. The prestigious event featured the host Ladies along with seven programs and eight individuals also competed.
Crowley was named the 2025 WCGNIC Coach of the Year and 14 Centenary gymnasts were named WCGNIC 2025 Scholar-Athletes as they held either a cumulative 3.3 GPA or Fall semester GPA of 3.3 and five Ladies had 4.0 GPAs
Centenary also hosted the annual MIC Championships on March 21 as the Ladies earned a team score of 189.200 to finish fourth.
A dozen Ladies were named WCGA Academic All-Americans by the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA) and Centenary also finished 70th nationally in team grade-point average (3.49).
A glance at this season's roster:
The Ladies' roster features 14 returners and four freshmen for a talented group with high expectations.
"We have a strong group of returners, and newcomers who are looking to make an impact right out of the gate," said Crowley.
"The Ladies have been working diligently to upgrade our routines over the summer, especially on vault, so look to see more twisting vaults in our lineup this season."
"It's going to be an exciting season, with the opportunity to travel to Alaska over Mardi Gras Break for a double meet weekend, as well as three home meets here in the Gold Dome."
