GYMNASTICS
In a field of nine teams, some comprised of gymnasts competing with high-level clubs, the Gym Hounds placed fifth on Friday at Ola. Jones County received strong performances across the board from multiple gymnasts, with Caroline Barfield and Cayl Milner having the top score on vault with the top showing on bars being from Kennedie Dyer. Barfield led the team on the beam, floor and in all-around score.
Led by Kiersten Foreman and Kaylee Wilson, Jones County won the JV portion of the meet.
Foreman was first in all-around and on the beam, third on the vault and second in the floor routine. Wilson finished second in all-around, second on the vault and first in floor routine.
“It was really an awesome job by all of our girls, this is such a hard sport to compete in, especially with our limited time in the gym” Gym Hounds head coach Jeanine Wilson said. “They are all showing so much growth and getting excited to see how much their hard work is paying off.”
