Wave Girls Gymnastics Takes 5th at States Competition Wraps Up Team’s Successful Season

By Rory Washecka

Last Saturday, February 27th, the Girls Gymnastics Team attended the State competition at Pomperaug High School in Southbury.  The girls took 5th place with a score of 133 points.  Junior and captain Sam Aparicio, freshmen Nikki Carlo and Sofia Fea, and sophomore Isabel Hansen led the team.  They had great performances on floor, and Sam and Nikki excelled on beam as well.  The team members feel slightly disappointed with the meet, and had hoped for a better performance after their impressive 2nd place finish at FCIACS.  However, they reflect upon their successful season with nothing but positivity.  “I feel we could have definitely performed better,” says Isabel Hansen, “but I’m still proud of everyone, and I think that overall, we’ve had an amazing season.”
