From Staff Reports
Saturday, December 09, 2006 | No comments posted.
Three athletes from Gymnastics Plus placed in the top 10 in events in their division at the state championships for Level 5 and Level 6 last weekend in Portland.
All three placers were in Level 6.
Kara Wood tied for eighth place on the floor exercise with her score of 8.9. The routine requires some difficult skills, including a back handspring, back tuck.
Mareyna Karlin was ninth on the balance beam with a score of 9.225, while Braeden Kennedy was 10th with a score of 9.125. The routine's difficult skills include a back walkover on the beam.
Taylor Mauer, Maria Bounds, Morgan Hongell, Emily Neis, Hope Richert and Kaila Tripp also competed at the state meet for Gymnastics Plus.
“It is an incredible achievement and honor for these girls to compete in the state championships,” said Gymnastics Plus head coach Roy Lans.
Level 5 gymnasts practice four days a week for two hours and Level 6 gymnasts practice four days a week for 21/2 hours.
