Tumbling Ahead Of The Rest
-- -
For the second year in a row the gymnastics team had a limited number of participants. The team consisted of only five members, including two seniors Jen Bundy and Kassie Lysaker, sophomore Sarah Roush, and freshmen Dez Murray and Erin Robinson. The team was coached by Jennifer Small and newcomer Michelle Saranchek. The team ended the season with a three and five record. The team's best performance was against Altoona, the two-time defending District 6 Champion, where the girls improved more than fifteen points from their last meet , and nearly
twenty-five points from the first meet of the season. Jen Bundy and Kassie Lysaker performed rather well individually, but the team lacked depth and fell short overall in the dual meets. This was due to the team's inexperience in competition and the lack of participation. However, the team did place fourth in Districts.
Senior Jen Bundy was a four year varsity gymnast. In her freshman
year she came in 3rd at Districts but her best performances were in her junior and senior years. As a junior, J en placed 3rd on beam and was an alternate to States. As a freshman Kassie Lysaker placed I st on the balance beam and qualified for States where she placed 12th on beam. As a j unior, she captured all-around titles in dual meets. This year Kassie placed 3rd on Vault and was an alternate to States.
