Girl's Gymnastics Takes a Tumble

-By: Jorden Cappiello-

This past Saturday, the 17th was the gymnastics team’s first home meet at the gym in Goodwives shopping center. The 11 Blue Wave gymnasts competed against Hand, a team of about 20. During leap series warm-ups, captain, Kaylyn Van Sciver, fell on her ankle and sprained it. Being the all around highest scorer for Darien, the team was upset to lose her. However, the gymnasts had faith in themselves and were able to pull together. In the end, the team lost by only one point.
“Since I just joined the team this year, I was really stressed to compete on the beam last Saturday, but I gave it my all,” said senior, Gabi Barrowcliff. “My team is awesome and I love spending time in the gym with them!”
