Posted

HURON – Mitchell set the team standard in three of the four elements to come away with the team title Tuesday at the Huron Invitational, defeating second place Watertown 148.10 to 143.95 for the team title.

Myah Morris of Watertown won the all-around with a score of 38.90, taking a clean sweep with victories in all four individual elements. Teammates Kyanna Gropper and Sidney Malde of Mitchell came in second and third with scores of 36.50 and 36.20.

The hometown Tigers finished fifth with 126.75 team points and impressed Coach Julie King with the progress in this meet.

“The girls are polishing up their routines,” King commented. “Vault was a strong event for the Tigers. Eastyn, Maiya and Adison had clean vaults. Maiya also turned in a personal best on floor, scoring a 9.05.”

Maiya Hein finished tied for eighth in vault with an 8.8 score and finished tied for 10th on the floor with her 9.05 score, good enough for 11th in overall. Eastyn Eichstadt finished 12th in the overall while Adison Gross finished 15th.

The Tigers are down to a triangular Thursday in Aberdeen, the ESD meet Feb. 5, and then the state meet the following weekend. Coach King is hoping for big things:

“I’m excited to see what the next two weeks have in store for these Tiger gymnasts!”
