PHILADELPHIA - Navy gymnast Brandon Cook (Sr./Longmont, Colo.) placed among the top-four competitors in two events as the Midshipmen finished third in a tri-meet at Temple with Ohio State on Saturday night in McGonigle Hall.

Navy (5-3) placed second on the vault (60.0 points) and high bar (55.05 points) to accrue a total of 332.85 points on the night. Ninth-ranked Temple (6-1) racked up 342.85 points to upset seventh-ranked Ohio State's (4-5) 341.15 points.

Cook surpassed the 15.0-point mark on the floor exercise and vault for the second-consecutive week. The Navy senior delivered a 15.35-point effort on the floor exercise to finish second, tied for the team's highest finisher on Saturday. He only was bested by Ohio State Jimmy Wickham's 15.6-point performance. Cook also produced an impressive 15.5-point routine on the vault to finish fourth.

Navy's other individual second-place performance came from Adam Stanton (Jr./Centennial, Colo.) on the pommel horse. The nation's 19th-ranked gymnast in the discipline registered a 14.4-point score on the apparatus to finish only behind John Vogtman's 14.55-point showing from Temple. Stanton also paced the Mids on the still rings (14.0 points) and recorded the team's second-highest mark on the parallel bars (13.35 points).

The Midshipmen had two gymnasts partake in the all-around competition on Saturday. For the first time in his collegiate career, Dylan Parrott (Fr./Rockwell, N.C.) saw action in all-six disciplines and totaled a team-best score of 82.75 points, good for fifth overall. Parrott recorded the team's second-best mark on the pommel horse (13.2 points) and high bar (14.0 points). Christopher Tam (Sr./Draper, Utah) placed sixth in the all-around with a season-best tally of 82.55 points. Tam led the Mids and finished fourth overall on the high bar with a 14.3-point routine. He also ranked as the team's second-best performer on the floor exercise (14.15 points) and still rings (13.8 points).

Navy also received a solid contribution from team captain Jon-Michael Chombeau (Sr./Beaverton, Ore.). He led the Mids on the parallel bars with a 13.6-point showing from the judges and posted the team's second-highest score on the vault with a 14.85-point effort.

The Midshipmen will return home to host Army in the annual Star Meet next Saturday in Macdonough Hall, starting at 3 p.m.
