This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
During the Maryland Quad Meet senior Audrey Barber became Maryland gymnastics’ all-time leading scorer.
She claimed the crown after posting a 9.900 on vault. She also won the all-around with a 39.450. Barber helped propel Maryland over NC State, Yale and William & Mary contributing to the Terps’ final score of 197.100, Maryland’s highest of the season.
Throughout the season, she’s been climbing her way up the program’s all-time scorer rankings. On Feb. 22, Barber moved into the second spot after posting a 38.675 all-around score.
Barber and the Terps will be back in action Friday, March 11. The Terps will take on Towson and George Washington in the Towson Tri before coming back to College Park on March 13 for the Terp Quad.
