BOYS VARSITY GYMNASTICS: tFirst Bowl Darrin Phillips QSecond Row! Boys undefeated yet State raise keeps them home In 1983-84, the boys varsity gymnastics team went undefeated. Round Rock came on strong to overcome Anderson, McCallum, Crockett, Johnston, LBJ, Lanier and Travis. The closest match of the season was against Bryan. Round Rock took the meet by only three tenths of a point. The boys did a super job to place second at the Regional Meet. Coach Brandy Haney explained the absence of RR at State Competition, This year the qualifying score for a boys team to go to state was raised by thirty points. This kept the boys home as a teamg they made the qualifying score as it was last year. lt was obvious the raise of thirty points in one year was too steep, as there were few boys teams in the state meet. Captains for this team were Jason Crawford and Matt Leibel. Strong leader- ship helped the boys obtain their outstand- ing record. Matt Barbini was the Most Im- proved Gymnast for the boys team.

Girls undefeated for fourth season For the fourth time, the varsity girls gym- nastics team had a stunning undefeated season. McCallum, Bryan, Crockett, Lanier, Reagan, Westwood and Austin High were all suppressed by the outstanding power of the Lady Dragons. The girls placed fourth at the TWU Winter Sun Invitational and first at Regionals. Coach Brandy Haney was obviously very pleased by the outcome of the season and has great expectations for next year. The girls finished another, to make four, undefeated regular seasons, not counting in- vitationals, etc. They were Regional Cham- pions again for the third year and went on to place seventh as a team at the State Meet. They missed their All-American status by under two points! But, we'll try again next year, said Coach Haney. Diane Flynn and Brettne Taylor, captains, encouraged their teammates to strive hard to keep up the good work which has, in the past, placed RRHS gymnasts above the rest. The Most Improved Gymnast on the team was Laura Correa. Diane Flynn, senior, attempts a side leap on the floor ability have helped establish her to place first this year exercise mats. Such complicated feats of gymnastic in the district varsity meet.
