Brian's scores at state were 8.2 in the high bar, 7.5 on the parallel bars, and 7.8 on still rings. He also placed second in floor exercise and third in side horse. .-Xlthough Brian failed to qualify for vaulting during the regional meet, he turned in the highest score at state while vaulting for his all-around events. Only two Sandians represented the school at state since gymnastics is not included as an inter-scholastic sport. Uther Sandians competed independently through the year. They were Freshman John Sanchez and Senior Rick Artman. Sanchez, an all- around competitor, participated in regionals, but failed to qualify for state competition, while Artman placed fourth in floor exercise and fifth in vaulting to move into the state bracket.
