The teamconsistently scored over 100, greatly improving last years scores. Our... score rightnow is 102.2, which is really great! Brown said. This was due in part to the fantasticrelationships between the athletes: Were all really close, said sophomore AdriaToole.Sophomore Natalie Kremer agreed, saying that practices were really fun because I haveso many friends on the team... [Its] always a lot of laughs... its just fun.But the team was not just about having a good time. To prepare for meets, [We]worked really hard the week before... everyone [was] trying to get a spot, said Kremer.Not knowing who would compete until the day before could create stress for thecompetition. We can have our little dramas, Brown said, [but] were good friendsanyway. The teammates have sleepovers a lot, Toole added.The team also did psych sisters, giving gifts to each other before meets, and pep talkswere given during practices. Before major meets, like sectionals, the team had dinners.Many of the gymnasts love the practices. Gymnastics is my favorite sport, Brownsaid, its awesome doing that every day. She also enjoyed the sport for a chance to get toknow fellow gymnasts better. As Brown said, Every day was fun!StatisticsBloomington N. 98.975-92.675Martinsville 97.725-77.275Seymour 100.8-97.1Columbus N. 102.975-101.175Panther Inv. 3^/8Columbus East 102.675-100.275Sweetheart Inv. 5™/l2Plainfield 98.0-89.725erence Indiana: 4th/8Sectionals: 4th/11Upside down on the balance beam, sophomore Abby Richards1arranges her legs to form a split.
