As it is, the Panthers entered this week at 1-2.

The Glencoe-Silver Lake gymnastics team kicked off its season with an appearance at Northfield’s “Winter Wonderland” meet on Saturday, Dec. 5. With a somewhat improvised lineup, the Panthers finished third overall by posting a score of 108.3.

GSL was narrowly bested by the host Raiders, who finished with 108.35 points for second place.
