With the regular season fading in the rearview mirror, the Kentlake gymnastics team will head into the South Puget Sound League sub-district meet this Saturday hot on the heels of an overwhelming win at the Kent All-City meet and a perfect 19-0 record.<\/p>\n
The undefeated season is the first in the program\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
The Falcons capped their regular-season run with a 169.20 team score at Kentridge High this past Thursday, cruising past Kentwood (149.20), Kent-Meridian (147.00) and Kentridge (142.70). It\u2019s Kentlake\u2019s third straight All-City title.<\/p>\n
Kentlake senior Kayla Shira was dominant in the individual events, winning the all-around competition with a 37.62 score.<\/p>\n
Shira captured first place on the bars with a 9.2, first on the beam with a 9.7 and first in the floor exercise with a 9.45. She was second in the vault with a 9.30, getting edged out by Kent-Meridian\u2019s Nora Keith who posted a 9.45.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels pretty good,\u201d Kentlake\u2019s Brianne Gould said after the meet. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty excited. We were expecting to be pretty good, but we just came out real strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Conqueror Jamie Larsen took home second in the all-around with a 35.55 score. Larsen was second on the bars (8.80), the beam (9.2) and the floor (9.25).<\/p>\n
Keith captured third all-around with a 35.40. In addition to her win in the vault, the event she finished seventh in state at last season, she was third in the floor exercise with a 9.00.<\/p>\n
Kentlake freshman Katie Steckler showed that the Falcons should be stocked with talent for years to come with her third place finish on the beam with a 9.05.<\/p>\n
Kentwood\u2019s Alex Perez was third in the vault with a 8.5.<\/p>\n
Now it\u2019s on to the sub-district meet this Saturday at Kentwood High School.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just hoping to come with our best and hopefully have a pretty strong finish there also,\u201d Gould said of the sub-district meet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
