CARMEL – The Noblesville gymnastics team hosted a Thursday evening meet at the Millers’ home base at the Hollywood Sports Center in Carmel.
The Millers welcomed teams from Westfield and Fishers, as well as Lapel gymnast Myleigh Carpenter. The Shamrocks, a second-year team that qualified for the regional in its inaugural season, won the meet with a team score of 99.20. Noblesville placed second with 93.825.
Westfield had the all-around champion: Elianna Reynolds. The senior totaled 34.95 points over the four events, winning three of them. Reynolds won the floor exercise with a 9.225 (the highest score of the night across all events), and also was first in the balance beam (8.85) and the uneven bars (8.15).
“Not much has changed, except our skill level,” said Reynolds. “Our team support, it’s a great big family.”
Reynolds has committed to Trine University, where she will be a part of the school’s acrobatics and tumbling program. Reynolds said she was interested because of Trine’s criminal justice program (her planned major), and “they just have great opportunities,” she said.
Isa Galan was the winner of the vault, scoring an 8.775.
“We did okay,” said Westfield coach Lynn Moskovitz. “We had our Monday meet canceled. We had a meet the week before canceled, so we had a competition hiatus. They’re getting back into it again. I expect from here they’ll just continue to pick up.”

Noblesville had two runner-up finishes, with Kylie Lotridge taking second in the vault (8.75) and Emmy Leckrone getting runner-up in the bars (7.825).
“This is our highest team score,” said Millers coach Erica Eder. “They did a really great job. It’s their first home meet, and we’re really excited about them. I’m really proud of them.”
Fishers put together consistent scores despite dealing with some injuries. Stephanie Mack had the Tigers’ best placing with a seventh on floor (8.05) and the highest score with an 8.25 on vault, putting her in ninth.
“We are doing well,” said Fishers coach Susie Strange. “Our season’s just getting started and we hope to be even better by the end of the year, in sectionals.”
