GYMNASTICS

Bainbridge

2021 record: Finished fifth in 3A State Championships

Head coach: N/A

Key returners: Senior Avery Gray and sophomore Jade Bereman

Outlook: Bainbridge enters a new chapter this season with a new coach and young core. After finishing fifth in state with a handful of underclassmen, the Spartans are in a perfect spot to repeat their success.

Schedule: Dec. 7, 6 pm at Kingston; Jan. 7, 6 pm vs. North Kitsap; Jan. 11, 6 pm at Port Angeles; Jan. 18, 6 pm vs. Kingston; Jan. 25, 6 pm vs. Port Angeles

Kingston

Head coach: Sheila Moore

Key returners: Elli Falen

Outlook: Kingston saw a handful of gymnasts graduate last year. However, Falen returns after placing in several meets in multiple events. Although Kingston may be a smaller squad, Falen and the Bucs will look to pack a mighty punch again.

Schedule: Dec. 7, 6 pm vs. Bainbridge; Dec. 14, 6 pm at Port Angeles; Dec. 15, 5 pm at GYMagine; Jan. 7, 6 pm vs. Port Angeles; Jan. 18, 6 pm at Bainbridge; Jan. 25, 6 pm vs. North Kitsap

North Kitsap

Head coach: Kris Goodfellow

Key returners: Juniors Jordyn Lovett, Kelsey Derr, Wren Mason-Todd

Outlook: North Kitsap’s core is looking for its third run at the state meet this season. As freshmen, the Vikings finished top five and last year they dominated against league opponents. The Vikings can make the push for a state title these next two seasons.

Schedule: Dec. 7, 6 pm vs. Port Angeles; Jan. 7, 6 pm vs. Bainbridge; Jan. 11, vs. Kingston; Jan. 21, 6 pm at Port Angeles; Jan. 25, 6 pm at Kingston
