Roundup: Tabor continues to shine for WVU gymnastics team

MORGANTOWN — Beckley native Chelsi Tabor helped lead the West Virginia gymnastics team in a split with No. 15 Michigan and William & Mary Friday.

Tabor tied with teammate Amy Bieski for sixth place on vault with a 9.775. She also posted a season-best 9.8 on the beam, tying for fifth with fellow Mountaineer senior Shelly Purkat.

Last week, Tabor posted a first-place score of 9.85 on vault as WVU swept a quad meet at the University of Maryland. She also scored 9.65 on beam.

The Mountaineers next host Ohio State in their annual Pink Meet at 8 p.m. Friday.



Zimm listed among ‘newcomers to watch’ at California, Pa.

Oak Hill graduate Tyler Zimm was recently selected as a “newcomer to watch” by American Baseball Coaches Association/Collegiate Baseball Atlantic Region.

Zimm, a freshman left-hander at California (Pa.) University, was a two-time Class AA first-team all-stater for the Red Devils. He was 8-3 with a 0.53 earned run average last season.

The Vulcans open the season Monday in the Catawba Invitational in Salisbury, N.C. They will visit the University of Charleston Feb. 20-21.
