The Maple Lake gymnastics team suffered a 142.375 to 112.300 loss to a tough Melrose team on Tuesday, Dec. 10 during their first away meet of the season.
Despite the outcome, the Irish had some nice performances, especially on the vault. Jacqueline Pribyl earned the highest marks for the Maple Lake team on the vault with her 8.550 score for fifth place overall. Aurora Zuelke finished seventh with an 8.200; Avery Como was eighth with an 8.150; Peyton Walberg was ninth with a 7.850 and Reese Navarro was 10th with a 7.300.
“The gymnasts all performed well on vault,” Irish Head Coach Kaitlyn Helmbrecht said.
