The Lady Bulldogs gymnastics team traveled to the Hub City Invitational in Aberdeen on Saturday, December 12.  They faced some of the top competition in the state, but managed to place two individuals in the top 10. They also landed in eighth place as a team by accruing 125.00 points.
“This is one of the biggest invitationals we attend each year,” said head coach Amber Fraasch. “For an individual competitor to place in the top 10 at this meet does not happen often.”

Dani Yamaura took 10th place in the all-around competition with a solid 33.55. Aubrey Fraasch placed eighth in the floor exercise with a personal best score of 9.30.

“Due to Covid, we were missing athletes from our lineup,” said Coach Fraasch. “Greta Snaza was unable to compete due to the cancellation and rescheduling of the ACT test. We lost Hannah Brown because the Minnesota governor’s executive order disallowed athletes from competing at this time. Thankfully, Madison Mathews returned to the lineup and we had four girls to make a full team.”

Rylie Overby hit a personal best score for the second straight meet on the uneven parallel bars. Yamaura performed the team’s only no-fall beam routine and hit her first state-qualifying beam score with a 8.85. She also earned her second state-qualifying score on the floor with a 9.1. A. Fraasch scored a personal best and first state-qualifying score on the floor with a 9.30.
