Oregon State’s gymnastics team had an unforgettable night on March 15, hosting Air Force in front of a sold-out Gill Coliseum. It was a meet to remember, not just because Jade Carey delivered a stunning performance with a pair of perfect 10s, helping the Beavers achieve a remarkable 197.700 team score—the fourth-highest in program history. But also because it marked the return of a fellow gymnast after a long and challenging journey. Who? A star gymnast who came back to the Gill Coliseum arena to compete after 413 days.
Ellie Weaver, who had been sidelined for an astounding 413 days due to three surgeries, made her long-awaited comeback to the arena that night. It was an emotional moment for the entire team, and Jade Carey made sure to celebrate her teammate’s return with a heartfelt message. Jade Carey took to Instagram to share her excitement, reposting a Beaver Gymnastics post on her story. The post captured the touching moment when Oregon State’s head coach embraced Weaver, welcoming her back to the squad. Alongside the image, Carey wrote, “This moment was everything. So proud of you @ellie_weaver_2020,” showing her immense support and admiration for Weaver’s perseverance.
Weaver’s return was met with enthusiasm from teammates and fans alike, and she didn’t disappoint. She put up a solid performance, scoring a 9.800 in an exhibition routine on bars during the meet against Air Force. It was a triumphant moment for Weaver, who had worked tirelessly to get back to this point.
