The Jonathan Law High School gymnastics team is getting ready to have a great season.

The team has had successful seasons in the past and returns many talented gymnasts. Aside from that, all of the girls are really close, and have a lot of fun.

Head coach Mr. Simon has been coaching gymnastics at Law for years. After coaching as new girls come and go every year, he’s been able to make a strong team. 

After last year’s extremely successful season, the team is ready to work hard to get even better. Last season, the team didn’t score lower than a 120 in any meets. 

Even though gymnastics events are scored individually, it is still a team sport and everyone needs to work together. Junior Amanda Dew is excited to grow as a team.

“We support each other,” Dew said. “I think that’s what makes us a strong team, we all help each other out.” 

The team lost great seniors who contributed a lot to the team, but they also have great underclassmen who are only getting better. 

Junior Greta Valvo is going her third year on the team. She has seen the team grow from season to season.

“We’ve all gotten a lot closer,” Valvo said. “We’re all friends and it helps us to get better because of that.”

The team really likes having students there to support them. They like to have as many people cheering them on as possible. 

“I’d like to have students at our meets against Foran,” sophomore Emma Nelly said. “That’s a big meet for us.”

Team members believe they have the ingredients to be a great again this year. Now, they said, it’s all about putting in the work individually and as a team.
