DANBURY, Conn. — After posting tremendous performances in the William & Mary men’s gymnastics team’s victory at Springfield on Sunday, Tribe standouts Evan Wilkins and Connor Barrow earned the top weekly honors by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).
Wilkins was selected as the gymnast of the week, while Barrow garnered rookie of the week and routine of the week accolades.
Highlighting Wilkins’ effort was a winning performance on floor where he totaled a career-high 14.2, which ranks as nation’s fourth-best score in the event this season and among the program’s all-time top 10.
Additionally, the Franklin, Tenn., native claimed the rings title with a career-best 13.75.
Wilkins currently leads the ECAC on floor (13.667), while he ranks third on rings (13.133) and fourth on parallel bars (13.117).
In addition to earning a pair of honors from the ECAC, Barrow was also selected as the national specialist of the week by the College Gymnastics Association (CGA) and the NCAA.
En route to helping W&M post a season-high team score (313.5) at Springfield, Barrow won the vault title with a school-record-tying 14.5 (when adjusted for 2025 scoring changes). Additionally, the outstanding effort ranks as the nation’s third-best score in the event this season.
The Houston, Texas native also placed third on floor with a career-best 13.75.
One of the ECAC’s top gymnasts this season, Barrow currently ranks tied for second in the league on vault (14.067) and 12th on floor (13.233).
Zachary Patrick will represent W&M at the USA Gymnastics Winter Cup in Louisville, Ky., this weekend, while the Tribe will return to action when it competes in a dual meet at Simpson on March 2.
