The Penn Gymnastics Team had two seniors in last years class, and both made their mark in their careers in Philly. Rachel Graham and Kelly Tan competed on multiple events in their time on the Quaker squad.

Graham, who was a Captain in 2017 competed primarily on Beam and Floor. She had a career high of 9.85 on both FX and Beam, as well as a 9.65 career best on the Vault. She won the 2017 Penn Gymnastics Coaches Award, and was an ECAC All-Academic member all four years of her careers. She advanced to USAG Individual finals several times. She was also part of the 2015 Ivy Classic Championship team.
