The Jonathan Law gymnastics team recently completed another successful winter routine.

The team finished second in the SCC Championships and qualified for the upcoming State Tournament. At SCCs, senior captain Natalie Morrell was named Most Outstanding Gymnast and senior Claire Moulton and sophomore Anna Uruchida made the All-SCC Team.

The gymnastics captains this year were seniors Moulton, Natalie Morrell, Angie Robinson, and Bailey Seaberg. Pat Simon is the head coach.

Along with the team’s success, Morrell also had a memorable final season, scoring her 1,000th career point in a meet against Daniel Hand.

“I am very excited about reaching 1,000 points as the accomplishment marks all of the work that’s been put in over the past four years while also marking my improvement and how far I’ve come while being part of this team,“ Morrell said.

To prepare for the SCC meet, the team worked through routines so that they would be at their best.

The gymnastics team always encourages each other on and off the mats. Meeting new faces and saying goodbye to old ones, the team makes sure they connect well and include one another. 

“I think everyone is closer with each other than we were at the beginning of the season,” sophomore Charlotte Baldieri said. “Seeing the team everyday has definitely let us learn more about each other.”

Spending time together outside of meets and practices has helped the team grow closer.

“We have mental health practices where we play games together,” junior Paige Kantor said. “When we get the chance our team has pasta parties where we play games, eat, and talk to each other and that really brings us closer together as a team.”

In order to do well, the girls need to have a positive attitude towards each other, practice, and meet.

“The easiest way to stay in the right mindset is to focus on the positive and not comparing myself to others,” freshman Samatha Matist said. “By focusing on my gymnastics and not others it can help me realize the things I am good at and being positive really helps achieve goals.”

The girls love working together and having such a close relationship.

“My favorite thing about the law gymnastics team is the team spirit,” Matist said. “The whole team is always there for each other and we will always hype each other up before a routine in a meet.”
