The Winthrop High gymnastics team turned in some superb performances at the recent Northeastern Conference meet that was held at the Beverly Y. The format provides for each team to put up two athletes in each event.
Winthrop started on the vault with Sara Jurovich, who scored an 8.6, which was Sara’s highest score of the season. Macy Werstak went next for the Lady Vikings and also scored a season high of 9.1 to earn a fourth-place medal.
On the uneven parallel bars, first up for Winthrop was Isabella Rice, whose score of 8.6 brought Isabella a fourth-place medal. She was followed by Zoe Rey, who scored an 8.7 for third place, which was the top performance for the Lady Vikings at the meet.
The balance beam was the next event, with Rice going first and trying out her new routine for states, scoring an 8.1. Rey competed next, scoring an 8.8 for her highest score of the season.
On the floor exercise, junior Brooklyn Banfield turned in a great routine, scoring a personal best score of an 8.4. Brooklyn was followed by eighth-grader Werstak, who received a score of 8.5.
