Gymnasts Shine During Blue/White Intrasquad Meet
December 17, 2021 | Women's Gymnastics
Chapel Hill – For the first time under head coach Danna Durante, the Tar Heels took to the event floor in Carmichael Arena for the Blue/White intersquad meet.
Â
"I am really impressed, we set the bar really high for this team, and they went out and did what we asked them to, said head coach Danna Durante.
Â
The first event of the night saw the Heels take on the vault. "We made errors, but those where aggressive errors, and those I am ok with", said Durante. The second rotation was the uneven bars. "We were swinging big, and proud of them for fighting"
Â
The third event of the night takes us to the balance beam. "Really proud of the entire team, they didn't lose sight of the fact that the beam is 4-inches, and really grew in confidence."
The final event of the nights say the Tar Heels take to the floor. The Tar Heels went with a modified floor routine, opting to not take the third pass.
Â
"We are going to continue to raise the bar to get better and better each time we compete. I am so excited for January 7th, and to get fans back in Carmichael and make this a fun environment", said Durante. "We are going to keep striving for great energy, well executed and dynamic gymnastics."
Â
The Tar Heels will host Auburn, NC State and Bowling Green in a quad-meet for the home opener, Jan. 7, 2022, at 7 p.m. in Carmichael Arena.  Purchase tickets here or call the ticker office at (800) 722-4335 or (919) 962-2296.
