ABERDEEN — Junior Erica Zell broke one Huron High School gymnastics record and matched another during the Hub City Invitational on Saturday.
As a team, the Tigers finished eighth in the 15-team field with 129.675 points.
“We are finding areas that we need to improve on and are excited to add new difficulty to our routines,” Huron coach Julie King said. “We had a couple Tigers on the award stand and that felt great.”
Watertown won the event with a core of 144.675, while Mitchell was second at 143.475. Rounding out the top five were Pierre at 134.350, Sioux Falls Lincoln at 133.525 and Aberdeen at 132.450.
Zell recorded a new personal best with a score of 36.200 to finish second in the all-around for the Tigers. The effort placed her in a tie for the HHS record in the all-around with Kimberly Hilton.
“It was nice to see Erica have a great day,” King said. “Hard work has paid off for her.”
Myah Morris of Watertown won the all-around title on Saturday with a score of 37.650.
Huron teammates Sarah Christenson, Kassi Decker and Jamee Kattner held spots No. 21-23 in the all around, respectively, with scores of 31.225, 30.775 and 30.750.
