Things To Do - Sports 84 The J.V. and Varsity gymnastics teams finished their dual meets three and two. Once again Neenah and Kim- berly proved to be their toughest competition. First year coach, Lisa Marciniak commented about the year, ‘| en- joyed coaching and | learned a lot. | would like to continue coaching in the upcoming years.” At the beginning of the season the team had thirty-eight girls, at the end, only sixteen. “We had a lot of freshma who were disillusioned. Gymnastics wasn’t what they ex- pected. We also lost a lot of girls because they had too many extra-curricular conflicts,’” stated Marciniak. There were several records broken and tied this year. Freshman Ann Mauritz tied the J.V. vault record with a 7.6. Senior Tricia Nielson tied the bar record with a 8.2. The team vaulting score was broken with a 23.55 and the bar record was broken with a 23.7. The best dual meet this year was against the cross town rival, North; 100.24 to 95.39. The team tied for fourth place at the conference meet, which was hosted by West. Going on to regionals, four- year letter winner Tricia Nielsen received a 7.65 on floor exercise, and 7.95 on bars. Junior Monica Winkler received a 7.75 on vault. These scores enabled them to advance to the sectional meet. At the sectional meet, Nielsen scored a 7.45 on bars, and a 7.8 on floor. Winkler scored a 7.5 on vault. ‘Even though our coach was new, we achieved a lot. It was a big accomplishment to qualify two team members for the sectional meet,’’ concluded Winkler. 1.
