Gymnastics Looks to Improve with Help from New Members

By Morgan Hill ’16

After a successful 2014 season that culminated with a third- place finish at the MCPS county championship, the gymnastics team hopes to remain successful despite graduating four talented seniors. With notable wins over talented teams last season, the Warriors enter the 2015 as a contender for the county championship title.

The Warriors will see many new faces this year after adding a significant number of new gymnasts to their roster. Led by 2014 Washington Post All-Met Coach of the year Gary Peters and senior All-Met Cassidy Deerin, the Warriors also will have to turn to those new gymnasts, and plenty of returning ones, if they are to improve upon their impressive record from last year.

“We have a good amount of new people on the team this year” junior Natalie Perretta said. “Hopefully they will be able to help us improve on our finish from counties last year.” All eyes will be on the talented, but young team when they face Gaithersburg and Springbrook in a tri-meet on March 23.
