Ann Arbor, Mich. - February 17, 2024 - The Springfield College men's gymnastics program clashed with the University of Michigan and Arizona State on Saturday afternoon.  The Pride turned in a team score of 384.850 to finish in second, besting Arizona State's mark of 381.700 while falling to the host Wolverines, who scored a 407.750.

Springfield started the day on the rings and received a fourth-place finish from Cramer whoe totaled a 13.250 and Gustavin Suess (Portland, Ore.), who tied for fifth with a 13.200. The Pride then rotated to the floor where Dominic Ramalho (Hollis, N.H.) tallied a 13.300 and Evan Reichert (Oswego, Ill.) added a 13.200 for a pair of top-seven finishes.  Cramer paced the Pride on the pommel, winning by a 0.750 margin, while classmate Gio Mantia (Aurora, Ill.) took fifth with a 13.400.

On the horizontal bar, Noah Dhaliwal (South Orange, N.J.) placed sixth with a 12.850.  Ramalho took fourth on the vault after earning a 14.200 and Owen Carney (Sterling, Mass.) was right behind him in fifth with a 14.050.  Dhaliwal closed out the meet with another strong performance, this time on the parallel bars, as he was credited with a 13.250.
