Three meets in five days last week made for some very busy times for the Glencoe-Silver Lake gymnastics team. After traveling to face Waconia in a dual meet on Tuesday, Jan. 13, the Panthers hosted a triangular meet and a five-team invitational competition within hours of one another on Jan. 16 and 17.
“We had a great time putting this invite on,” coach Kim Hahn said in reference to Saturday’s meet. “We decided to do the Winter Wonderland theme this year for décor. The girls were able to walk out in scarves, mittens, hats, etc. for the march-in, so they had fun dressing for that.”
GSL also showed to be no worse for wear despite two meets in rapid succession, finishing third in its “Winter Wonderland” with a team score of 130.425. Just 24 hours earlier, the Panthers took third in their triangular versus Watertown-Mayer/Mound Westonka and Delano with a season-best score of 121.625.
“We were only about a little over a point off in our team score from the previous night,” Hahn said of Saturday’s score. “For having two meets back-to-back, that is awesome.”
