Of those, Catalinais varsity gymnasts are ex- pected to excel in the high bar. Senior Jack Kenan promises to be one of the top all-around gymnasts in the State especially in the parallel bars, side horse, and free exercise. Juniors Steffen Monk and John Voss are great assets to the team on the trampoline and the high bar.
