Hartford Highlights Updated

Level 7 Wins Banner
The Level 7 Team brought home the 3rd place team banner from this year's Northeast Invitational, held at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. Talented teams from all around the northeast were present. With only five of the team present, every one of their scores would count towards their team total. The 7s rose to the occasion, to win the 3rd place banner. Individually, each of the Level 7 Team went home with at least one medal. Nicole earned a medal for her Bars routine. Jackie took 4th on Beam with a 9.1 and a medal for Floor and the 4th place trophy for All Around. Ali took medals for Vault 9a 9.2!), Bars and Beam. Amanda took the gold for Vault with a 9.35, a bronze on Beam and another gold on Floor. Jamie took the silver for Beam, bronze for Floor, and the 1st place trophy in the senior's All Around. All together, the Level 7 girls edged out some other talented teams to earn themselves a banner.
