The Whitewater Gymnastics Team traveled to Southwestern High School on Saturday, January 22, for an invitational. The girls really pushed themselves against a very competitive lineup of teams and gymnasts with 16 season best scores, 2 career bests, and our highest team score of the season, along with a couple first time competitors.
Whitewater started out strong on the beam scoring our highest season team score. We had five no fall beam routines by Myia Cobbs, Lexi Kuhnke, Miyu Tekeda, Brooke Bazeley, and Makayla Bazeley. Scoring season personal bests were Jackie Franco, Brooklyn Griswold (by 2 points), Nola Coburn, Myia, Miyu (1st time competing on beam), Brooke Bazeley, and Makayla Bazeley.
Up next, we took on gloor where Brooke Bazeley scored a career personal best, and Myia Cobbs introduced her round off back handspring that she has been working so hard on.
Vault proved to be a very strong rotation with four out of five season personal best scores and the highest season team score. Halee Peters, Izzy Dieter, Myia Cobbs, and Nola Coburn all had solid performances to score their highest scores of the season.
The team’s last rotation was on bars where Izzy Dieter competed for the first time of the season. Nola Coburn had a season best score, while Halee Peters had her best ever bars routine with a career high.
You don’t have to wait long to watch these girls bring their best, as they compete in Janesville on Tuesday, January 25th, against Janesville Parker and Milton.
