Gymnastics sends two to State

Thomas Hurley Sports Editor

Following an eventful season, the girls’ gymnastics team sent two athletes to the state meet.

The team had placed fifth at Sectionals overall, with a score of 134.95, a feat that junior Anastasia Gritsonis said “boosted our confidence extremely.”

“We never thought we would even make it that far as a team,” Gritsonis said. “It made us extremely excited for State and even closer with each other.”

Besides helping morale and strengthening team bonds, the Sectional meet also saw Gritsonis, joined by freshman Katie Saviski, head to State on Feb. 17.

“I would simply describe State as just unbelievable,” Gritsonis said. “It is such an unreal experience seeing everyone be just amazing and you standing right there with them… because you are just as good as them.”

Gritsonis earned a 9.425 on vault and 7.6 on Floor; Saviski finished on beam with an 8.95.
