POMONA STICKS THE QUAD
Pomona captured its fourth straight Class 5A gymnastics state team title Nov. 1 at Thornton High School. Despite defending state champion in the individual all-around — Kaylie Berens — out due to injury, the Panthers showed off their depth edging Overland for another team title. Brooke Weins placed second and Mia Times took fourth in the individual all-around. Weins, a senior, placed top-4 in all individual events Nov. 3 to close out her stellar prep career.
