The Jonathan Law gymnastics team is off to an auspicious start.  

The team’s record is 4-1 as of January 4 and they’re excited and confident about what the future holds. Their most recent win was over Hand on January 3.

Even though the year has just begun, this is also a wrap-up season for the senior girls on the team: Julie Meyers, Lizzy Lombardi, Cassidy Davis, Bella Carroll, Emily Redneck, and Grace Wootton.

“Even though the season has just started, I’m honestly so sad knowing this is my final season as gymnast at Law,” Lombardi said.

This season, freshman Emma Nelly has already scored an 8.4 on vault.

“Being a freshman on varsity was a little intimidating at first, but everyone was really nice and welcoming and made me feel like I really was part of the team,” Nelly said.  

Sophomore Catherine Burns has scored an 8.1 on bars.

“The 8.1 on bars gives me feeling of accomplishment knowing all my hard work paid off,” Burns said.

Burns has also scored an 8.55 on floor.

The captains are extremely excited for this upcoming season.

“I’m overwhelmed but mostly excited for this season,” said Carroll.

Not only are the gymnastics girls excited, so is head coach Mr. Simon.

“The Law gymnastics team has a lot of talent this year and we hope to improve in each meet,” Simon said.

The goal for the season is to make it to the CIAC Divisional Championships and for some team members to make it to the Open Championships.
