Emma Sibson Leads Nittany Lions To Victory In Season Debut

UNIVERSITY PARK - Emma Sibson was ready to start off her junior season strong after being named second-team All-Big Ten and tying for fifth on the vault at the B1G Championships in 2015.As Penn State neared the season-opening meet against North Carolina State, Sibson went down with a hamstring injury and had to watch the team's first three meets from the sidelines. With the team consisting of seven freshmen, three sophomores and four juniors, the Nittany Lions lost one of its key leaders with much experience in collegiate competition. "It was a different perspective being on the sideline. It gave me a chance to step up as a leader with my voice and not just my actions in the gym," Sibson said.
