Although a relatively non-spectator sport, the Gymnastic team always makes every meet exciting with its many tumbles and flips. Last year, this team placed second in fciacs and qualified for states. This year they hope to repeat that feat. On January 12th, this past Saturday, the Gymnastics team had its first FCIAC game. With a dominating score of 121.0 to beat Westhill (90.70) and New Canaan (84.0), this team has started the season 1-0. Senior and Captain Caroline Congdon, along with senior and assistant captain Marya Von Schmidt, sophomore Julia Murray, sophomore Kajsa Lundeen, sophomore Samantha Gunn and sophomore Sarah Petti each contributed to this final score through their outstanding performances. This team excelled, surpassing their scores from the invitational meet they competed in last week, where they received 117.95 points. “I was very happy with our team score today, we had very tough judges and I am happy that we improved upon our score from Pomperaug,” Congdon said. This team is looking forward to a great season and will accomplish great things. Be sure to watch them, it will be quite a thrill. Congdon told me the goals for the team: “I hope to keep improving and make it back to states.” With the hard work that these girls put in, along with the talent that they currently have, they will do extremely well, and continue to improve with the years to come. Come and support the gymnasts at their next meet on Wednesday (1/16) at Wilton.
