Southwest/Cuba City 128.325, Reedsburg Area 126.95,
Viroqua/Cashton/DeSoto 119.275, and Chippewa Falls 119.
“We had an excellent day on beam, 31.65 team score , highest of the year,” said coach Paul Stevens.
On beam Kaley Cross scored 8.65 for 8th place, and Ally Sheehan came in
at 10th place with 8.5. Samantha Wermager scored 7.65; Courtney
Gran 6.85; and Emily Klug 6.45.

In vault, Wermager took 11th place with 8.2. Gran scored 7.65; Klug 7.65; Cross 7.5; and Moen 7.425.
“Ally Sheehan hurt an ankle as she was warming up on vault, and
Courtney Gran was pretty sick all day long, so her scores were down a
lot,” said Stevens.
C-SG 120.625, La Crescent 132.2
The Warriors traveled to La Crescent for a meet on Monday, Jan. 14. La
Crescent came out on top with a score of 132.2 to Caledonia-Spring
Grove’s 120.625.
Coach Paul Stevens said that it was very hard having this meet in
La Crescent right after the big meet in Holmen on Saturday. “The girls
did not have enough time to really make many changes in
routines,” he said.
“Courtney Gran was feeling a lot better than on Saturday when she
competed but was very sick,” said Stevens. “Our team score was slightly
higher than on Saturday as well. We are moving Miranda Moen and Skylar
Schoh up to the varsity team on a few events and the scores could
improve because of this.
“Skylar has learned a lot on bars and so will be moved up on that
event. Miranda’s ankle that was injured earlier this year has improved
and she also has put together a good floor routine,” said Stevens. “She
will also be moved up to varsity floor. She will also be taking Ally
Sheehan’s spot on vault and beam until Ally’s ankle is healed.
“Our bar score was the best of the season, but sadly our beam score was
the lowest. Things have not be consistent on that event. Our floor
score was also our highest of the year. We now have seven or eight days
of practice before our next meet. This should really help the girls if
they push themselves. We have five meets before the section meet,
so our season is quickly coming to a close. Hard work is a must
these last few weeks so that we can be at our strongest come section
time.”
Next: The Warriors travel to Pine Island on Friday, Jan. 25.
