LFHS won 3rd straight regional ttle, 1/31
Lake Forest High School’s girls gymnastics team used a torrid start – 10-for-10 hit routines in its first two events, vault and bars – and wound up scoring 144.425 points to win a third straight regional championship on the home mats Jan. 31.
Mundelein (141.5) finished runner-up, followed by Glenbrook South (133.2) and Glenbrook North (129.675).
“We began like gangbusters,” Scouts coach Robin Straus said.
“Beautiful … all were beautiful,” she added. “We had our best bars routines of the season, not in terms of scores but in the way they looked.”
The Scouts’ “batting average” for the night: an attractive, and hefty, .800 (16-for-20).
“The goal was to hit 17 routines,” Straus said. “Eighteen would have been great.”
Ever-steady LF junior Kat “Can Do” McKeon earned the maximum number of sectional berths (five), after topping the all-around (37.325) and bars (9.475) fields and finishing second on beam (9.325), fourth on floor (9.25) and fifth on vault (9.275).
The top five finishers, in each event and in the all-around, advanced automatically to next week’s sectional round.
Scouts sophomore Brittany Moccia (fourth in the all-around, 36.3) also struck gold, executing a meet-best 9.575 vault. She also earned sectional berths on bars (fourth, 9.125) and beam (fifth, 8.875) and has a good shot, Straus noted, at landing an at-large berth on floor (8.75).
LF Junior Kylie Carlson exited the home gym as a four-time sectional qualifier: all-around (fifth place, 36.175); floor (champion, 9.6), vault (second, 9.475) and bars (third, 9.25).
Gutsy LF junior Carly Schmidt, battling a sore back, scored a season-best 34.65 in the all-around, a likely at-large aggregate. Her mark on vault (9.25) also appears high enough to qualify for at-large status.
“Carly,” Straus said, “might qualify at-large in all events.
“We’re going to let her rest and treat that injury. We want her back to calm down, heal up.”
At-large sectional qualifiers will be determined after the conclusion of the last regional.
Junior Christine Andersen and freshman Laura Blake also competed for LF at the regional.
Round 2: LF vies for state berths Feb. 9 at the Niles North Sectional, meaning LF will have had eight days to prepare for the big meet.
A state team berth would be LF’s third straight.
“The plan, after fine-tuning some things, is to cut down on our falls and do what we’re capable of doing,” said Straus, whose Scouts finished runner-up at state last year.
Flashback: Lake Forest advanced to the state meet after placing third (147.6) at last winter’s Stevenson Sectional in Lincolnshire. Eventual state champion Carmel (151.6) and the host school (148.925) finished 1-2.
McKeon tied for seventh place in the all-around (37.4), and Carlson took fourth on floor (9.525).
