WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (March 6, 2016)—The William & Mary men's gymnastics team defeated Navy, 408.8 - 406.6, at Kaplan Arena on Sunday afternoon.
 
A trio of Tribe gymnasts led the squad with individual event titles, as sophomore Griffin Antle (pommel horse, 14.5), junior Rob Meyer (parallel bars, 14.55) and junior Aria Sabbagh (high bar, 14.1) all recorded top scores.

En route to earning the impressive mark, W&M had five of the top six scorers in the event. In addition to Antle's winning effort, freshman Jacopo Gliozzi placed second with a career-high 14.35 – a mark that ranks 10th in school history. Senior Keaton Ackerman also came up big with a season-best 14.2, while Meyer (13.9) and senior Simon Casey (13.4) rounded out the top group.
 
Other individual highlights included a second-place showing by Casey on floor (14.1) and a third-place effort by sophomore Juan Palma on vault (14.7). In addition to setting a career high, Palma's score ranks fourth in school history.
 
Led by Meyer's winning performance, W&M equaled a season high on parallel bars (67.65), while the other team event totals included floor (67.1), rings (67.75), vault (70.75) and high bar (65.2).
