After a three-week winter holiday, the Ballard High School gymnastics team picked up right where it left off, beating Roosevelt 163.45-128.15 Jan. 7.

The Beavers were so dominant against Roosevelt, they only allowed one Roosevelt player to crack the top three in any event.

Taylor Stern took first place all-around for the third time this season with a score of 34.75. Erica Redman and Molly Barnes placed second and third with scores of 34.75 and 32.55.

The Beavers took all three top-spots on the bars with Stern leading the way with a score of 8.9. Maria Volk came in second with 7.5. Redman and Barnes tied for third with a score of 7.2.

The floor event was all Ballard as well. Stern earned a score of 9.55 and first place. Redman came in second with 9.45, and Taylor Green and Maureen Sturgeon tied for third with 9.

Roosevelt's Becca Boyd ruined Ballard's complete dominance on the beam and in the vault.

Redman took first on the beam, scoring 9.15. Barnes tied with Boyd for second with an 8.

Stern and Barnes were first and second in the vault with scores of 9 and 8.4 respectively. Boyd from Roosevelt took third.

The win was Ballard's second in a row, putting the team at 3-1 for the season.

"With the long winter break, it kind of feels like a new season in a way," coach Stephanie Gundel said. "It's good to be 3-1, but we've still got some tough teams coming up in the next few weeks."

Gundel said the team is looking good in its floor routines and is starting to improve on the beam but needs clean up its work on the bars and increase the difficulty on the vault.

The Beavers host the Washington Open Winter Invitational with 13 teams from around the state at noon on Jan. 9 at Ballard High School.
