Gymnastics

It’s a new era for MCA gymnastics! The team increased dramatically in size this year, and these GymCubs were determined to go far – and they did! They took the mat at the LHSAA Gymnastics State Championships this past weekend in Baton Rouge. Competing against 25 other schools from across the state, the MCA team finished overall in fourth place!

In the Level 3 division, Grace Hoerner, Sydney Kremer, Francesca Mayeux, Lauren Monier, Mikalah Velasquez, and Grace Williams came in strong, finishing overall in fourth place. Lauren Monier finished in third place on bars, and Grace Williams finished fifth on beam.

In the Level 4 division, Natalie Doiron, Hazel Patterson, Emily Smith, and Miranda Weeks finished fifth overall. Emily Smith took third place on the vault and became a two-time State Champion with her first-place finish on the bars, scoring a 9.95.

In Level 8, Emily Chaplain, Meghan Mocklin, and Nola Simoneaux competed and showed some great finishes. Congratulations on a great season, Cubs!

We are the Champions!
