COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland gymnastics head coach Brett Nelligan announced the addition of four signees for the 2021 season on Wednesday morning.

"We are thrilled to welcome Alexa, Elizabeth, Olivia and Tayler to the Maryland Gymnastics family, said Nelligan. "Not only do they bring immense talent to the team, but they are also all accomplished and dedicated student-athletes. This entire class is solid, each one of them has that rare combination of power and grace that every coach looks for in a collegiate gymnast. I expect this group to make an immediate impact on the program and along with our returning team, take the program to new heights."
