By Caroline McKay

On Saturday, February 23, the Darien High School Girls Gymnastics team competed in States at Pomperaug High School in Southbury, Connecticut. Season scores ranked the girls sixteenth in the state going into the meet. “We were seeded sixth, but finished seventh in the class M division. We had a strong meet, but we were missing one of our varsity members due to injury,” said senior captain Caroline Congdon.

DHS finished with a total of 123.05 points. Daniel Hand High School won the class M division with 139.275 points, and Wilton was a close second with 135.925 points. Congdon felt the girls were best on bars. Sophomore Sam Gunn “had a strong performance, especially on bars,” Congdon added. Gunn qualified for State Opens, where she will be competing on bars and vault this Friday, March 1st, in New Milford.
