Huge shout out from Athletics to the volunteers & Facilities team, who made it possible for us to host the Vermont State Gymnastics meet this weekend. And special thanks to Chef Hale and his Avengers! — the Waterman, Barn, and Brantview boys who led all the dorm troops in helping us break down all the equipment and load the truck on Sunday evening.
This weekend, the gymnastics team hit their highest team score of the season with a 132.675. Siri Jolliffe ended her first and last season of high school placing 6th on floor and 11th all-round. Lydia Ruggles is officially the #1 high school gymnast in the state! Her first-place finishes on uneven bars, beam, floor, and her third place finish on vault earned her top honors all around with a huge 1st place score of 37.850. In addition, the floor officials gave “Judges Choice Artistry Award” for choreography and expression to both Lydia and Siri for their very different yet well put together routines. Along with the scores of Lydia and Siri, the team’s score was supported by Katy Noonan, Zoë Glentz Brush, and Ailee Stratton. Katy had one of her best meets with her highest score on floor and a solid vault, Zoë competed a lovely beam routine and got a nod from the judges, and Ailee’s competitive spirit all helped up the team score by 10 points and propelled the team into 3rd place.
The Bowling team had another successful match on Saturday. Taking the 2nd-seed into match play, the team beat South Burlington two-games to none, posting a team-best, 216, in the first game. In the final, the team fell to Essex, 2-1, in a close and exciting matchup. The strong performance means the team will go into States with the 4th seed. Go Hilltopper Bowlers!
Happy Birthday today to Kanan Gasimov!
