Competing in the comfy Mack Olson Gym for the final time this season, the Geneva girls gymnastics team was looking for a great finish on the floor exercise during Wednesday's Geneva regional.
While the Vikings didn't necessarily need a huge score on their final event to advance to next Tuesday's Hinsdale South Sectional, it was a welcome sight for a Geneva team that has its sights set on something much larger than a regional title.
Freshman Reese Lackey led the way with a 9.45. Senior Sadie Karlson followed before juniors Graci Weems and Brooke Lussnig . The Vikings put on such a great performance that junior Maeve Devlin earned an 8.85, but the Vikings didn't need her score despite a sixth-place finish. "State has been our goal since the beginning of the season, and while we may have had a shaky beam, we picked it up as a whole on floor," Vikings senior Maura Anderson said."We didn't let it get to us. We just shook it off and continued to do great and make improvements everywhere we've been practicing.""We practice really hard and we make sure we are all working together as a team to get towards our common goal," she said.
It was a proud moment for Batavia freshman Wynne Tien, who took fifth in the all-around with 33.875.
Sophomore Leah Flesch tied for fourth on beam with an 8.2, while junior Delia Fulton was fourth on vault with a 9 to also advance to sectionals for the Bulldogs. "She's a very good teammate with a great sense of humor," Boyce said."She's kind of quiet and works hard."
