On a night when seniors Jessie Blake, Megan Brennan and Emily Turpin were honored in the John M. Goodwin Memorial Gymnasium at John F. Kennedy Catholic High School, it was the daring young duo of freshman Alyssa Hoffman and junior Allison Hargett that spurred Lancer scoring in a second place team score of 126.6 behind Renton (132.6) and ahead of Lindbergh (122.1) on Thurs., Jan. 29, as the girl gymnasts prepared for the Feb. 6 Seamount League meet at Mt. Rainier High School.
Hoffman swung on the uneven parallel bars for second place at 6.4 and tumbled to a floor routine of 7.5 for another second place as positions in the top five of individual events to aid her AA aggregate score of 28.85 in a runner up all-around total.
"I was good in practices and tonight's competition," Hoffman said. "I was better on the floor and had a strong routine on bars. All I want to do is go as far as I can."
Included in the evening resume for Hargett's 27.6 third place AA was a third place ribbon on the floor with a 7.4, a 5.6 fourth spot on bars and a 7.9 fifth place on vault.
