SARATOGA – High school gymnasts from Bethlehem, Guilderland, Shaker and Saratoga gathered on Friday, Jan. 13 at the Saratoga Invitational for individuals to qualify for sectional competition.
The format was not a team score, but rather each team formed sets of three gymnasts on each of the events. Each team had a unique name and theme, including costumes to match.
While the dress and format was unconventional, the competitors brought their routines and flying skills to qualify.
Here are the individual top-10 results in each apparatus.
