Gymnastics also in- volves both physical and mental abilities and in order to withstand all the pressures, a gymnast must be in top condition and have great concentration. Being in shape is important in gymnas- tics because of the rigorous workouts and the constant movement involved with it. Con- centrating on a single routine and memor- izing every step takes time and well-devel- oped mental skills. The first-year team, without senior leadership, did very well with two junior leaders, Dawn Redmond and Jennifer El- vert, who did consistently well in scoring and in overall competition. Jennifer Elvert holds the bars record while the All-around, floor and vault records are held by Dawn Red- mond. The sophomores also played a role in their successful season. Stephanie Shields currently set the beam record for North. Welve had a young team this year and everyone has gotten a lot of meet experience and it shows in the way we have all im- proved, stated Shields. First-year Gymnas- tics Coach Kathy Loken added, Soph- omores have definitely benefited from com- peting at the varsity level and that certainly makes for a brighter future. Although the team wasn't very large, they still managed to show their competition that they meant business. Dawn Redmond stated, We did very well for being such a small team and we should all continue to improvef' Coach Loken concluded, 'Tm really proud of the way the girls have progressedf, ,FA 11 V ' 1 , M, ,X , 1, QQ, xr, .b. ,.... ,. ...W K 'mr' A , .
