This year, from November 2024 to mid-February 2025, the Bronx Science Girls’ Varsity Gymnastics team was hard at work creating their routines and perfecting their skills. At the first meet of the season, the team pulled through with a huge win against Tottenville (Bronx Science: 122.600 and Totenville: 114.000), beating Tottenville’s 15 year undefeated record. This year, the team grew significantly, with new members joining in to learn and compete. Madison Kang ’26, one of the new members, explained that, “I found my place in helping the other members of my team. Since I do two individual sports, being on a new team allowed me to find my independence and learn the importance of team spirit.” On January 14th, 2024, the team celebrated senior night, and the seniors made special floor routines to commemorate the moment. That day, the team pulled through with another amazing win. The Girls’ Varsity Gymnastics team’s record at the end of the season was 28 wins and 2 losses, placing the team as first in their Manhattan/Bronx PSAL Division. As the biggest competition of the season approached, Team Finals, everyone on the team was laser-focused on practicing and refining their skills. On February 12th 2025, the team came in second place in the city with a total score of 129.750, the highest they had scored all season.
