The girls competed against more than 800 other qualifying gymnasts in the state, and all of the level three gymnasts had to earn a 33.00 all around throughout the year in order to be eligible to compete at the state championship. Mattoon Academy brought home 13 individual event awards and three all around state title awards.
From Sullivan, Kylie Godden (2nd row, far right) took 11th place on uneven bars, while Zoe Walton (2nd row, middle) placed in the all-around, taking second on vault, ninth on bars, second on floor and third all-around. The level three gymnastics team is coached by Michelle Gardner, Laura Sculley, and Lis White.
