WEST CHESTER, PA – West Chester University landed three gymnasts on the 2026 All-Gymnastics East Conference squad it was announced Thursday afternoon by that organization. Seniors
Sarah Eskew (Pittsburgh, Pa.), and
Anna Lacey (Bethlehem, Pa.) and sophomore
Tatum McGuinn (Glen Mills, Pa.) were all recognized by the GEC.
Gymnasts are named to the first team by finishing among the top six National Qualifying Scores in the conference, including ties, while second team honors are awarded to the next six NQS scores, including ties. Among the three West Chester honorees, Lacey was named first team on the floor exercise while Eskew was second team on the uneven bars and McGuinn was second team on the balance beam.
Lacey's 9.825 NQS on the floor landed her on the conference's first team. Twice this year, Lacey hit a career-high score of 9.900. She won, or tied for first on the floor exercise, four times during the regular season. This is her first all-conference accolade of her career.
Eskew's 9.710 NQS was good for second team all-conference on the uneven bars where she starred all winter for the Golden Rams. Eskew won the uneven bars event four times during the season as well. She is making her second appearance on the All-GEC squad on the bars and third overall in her four years in college. She has been named All-GEC on the vault twice in her college career.
McGuinn earned second team all-conference on the balance beam with an NQS score of 9.740. She won, or tied for first in the beam event, four times during the winter season as well. She hit a career-high of 9.825 at home against SUNY-Cortland in January. This is the local product's first appearance on the All-GEC squad.
