Area Gymnasts Place At Bozeman Meet
The Battle Under The Big Sky gymnastics meet was held in Bozeman March 9-10. EMG, in one of the toughest meets of the season, had five event championships in their age groups: In gold, Aubrey Ziegler won vault, while silver gymnasts Emma Hove (balance beam and floor), Gracelyn Berg (floor) and Ila Lehner (uneven bars) earned first-place awards.
The silver team finished fourth out of 13 teams, with a huge 1.5 point improvement from the previous meet. Unfortunately, the gold team was missing several key gymnasts and did not place.
EMG’s next meet will be the state meet in Butte March 23-24. This will be the last meet of the season for EMG’s silver gymnasts, while the gold gymnasts have an opportunity to qualify for regionals in Boise, Idaho, depending on their scores at state.
