Gymnastics is a composition of grace, balance, poise and originality. Flip-flopping their way to the top, the gymnasts began their season in full swing. With many of the competitors returning from last year, the gymnastics team was ready and strong for the upcoming meets. “I feel that our team will do well this year. We have the talent and strength to go far in competition,” explained Coach Judy Pedigo. Some girls competed all-around, while others competed on one or two events. Senior Mary Bagg said, “I like competing all-around because it gives me a variety of things to do.” Senior Shelly Reich had a different point of view, I don’t compete all-around because I like to focus my attention on the events I do best.” Gymnastics took a lot of hard work. The girls came at 7:30 and worked out until 9:30. Most girls worked out after school at a nearby gym. Sophomore Stephanie Ponder took ballet lessons as well. Ballet keeps me in shape, while developing my grace and balance at the same time, something essential for gymnastics, explained Stephanie. While grace and balance were important for gymnastics, the gymnast had to have poise and had to learn to let her personality show through in routines. » TOP GYMNAST.
