The Mount Si gymnastics team won their meet on Thursday, Jan. 14 against Skyline and Inglemoor with a total score of 166.1.

Head coach Kelly Loranger said in addition to winning over Skyline and Inglemoor, the match resulted in a great team score.

“I think this was our highest team score of the season,” Loranger said. “Out of my nine girls that competed in the all-around they all finished in the top 11.”

Loranger said that the team struggled with the uneven parallel bars event, but feels that it may have been an off day for some of the athletes and they are working on correcting some of those mistakes. Loranger also said that adding new vaults and new routines into the bars competition helped the team’s score.

“We took first across the board. Beam was our weakest event, but it seems like it was an off day, but we will make those corrections,” Loranger said. “Needs some improvement on beams, but at this point everything is pretty set and it’s just polishing.”

Mount Si will face Eastlake in their next match at Interlake and on Jan. 28 will return home for a match with Issaquah.

“I think they are peaking at the right time and I’m excited to watch them improve, we are not at the top yet and there is still room for improvement,” Loranger said. “We’ve got a great and talented group of girls that make my job easy.”
