The Noblesville gymnastics team placed third at the Northwestern Invitational on Saturday.
The Millers scored 81.575 points, with Logansport first (103.725) and Northwestern second (101.20). Eight teams competed at the invitational.
“I was very proud of the team today especially since we have endured two injuries just within the past week and are now down to seven competing gymnasts,” said Noblesville coach Jody Ramey. “The ladies are learning to adjust to the injuries we now have on the team and though we went down today in our overall team score today we are starting to look more polished and more unified as a team.”
The Millers continued to be strong in the vault. Hailey Knoll had the team’s highest score overall in that event, with an 8.45. Cailey Hurst scored an 8.10.
“Hailey is very consistent in her vault and also has a stronger vault value than most of the girls on the team at this time,” said Ramey.
Hurst finished with a 7.95 on the floor exercise, with Knoll and Deno both scoring 7.35.
Ella Deno had a 7.30 in the balance beam where she made a “beam stick,” not falling off the apparatus during her routine. Ramey said Deno “continues to stay strong in her form on the beam which helps her not to fall.”
Noblesville’s next competition is Thursday at Western.
