The defending state champion gymnastics team was scheduled to have a meet this coming Monday. That is now pushed back due to the shutdown, but the team remains optimistic about this year going forward.

“I think for the most part we are going to be okay,” junior Mia Dougherty said.

School athletic officials are working to reschedule any missed games or meets in all sports. Still, there is uncertainty in athletes’ minds, due to the nature of the pandemic.

“I’m not sure if the meets will be rescheduled,” Dougherty said. “But there’s hope that they will be when we start up again.”

Since the gymnastics team is unable to practice together, all the players have had to keep up their workouts at home to stay in shape.

“I hope that the team can still do as well as last year,” Dougherty said. “Because it’s not another six-month break from the gym, we will be able to recover faster.”
