CENTRAL NEW YORK – In its second meet of the regular season, the Jamesville-DeWitt/Fayetteville-Manlius gymnastics team got a superb performance from Mia Arvidson.
Winning three of four apparatus, Arvidson pushed J-D/F-M past Utica Proctor 141.35-111.85 last Monday night, highlighted by a balance beam routine that scored 9.50.
Adding a 9.35 on floor exercise, an 8.7 on uneven bars and a winning vault of 8.2, Arvidson finished with an all-around score of 35.75 to edge the 35.4 from teammate Antoinette Sakellariou.
It was Sakellariou winning the uneven bars with 9.0, adding a 9.1 on the beam and 8.1 vault. Morgan Devine scored 9.2 for second place on the beam and 9.3 on the floor for third behind Devine and Proctor’s Ellianna Curley, who scored 9.4.
East Syracuse Minoa/Liverpool had its own meet last Tuesday against New Hartford, unable to keep up with that other group of Spartans in a 135.95-115.5 defeat.
Madelynn Gorzka did win the vault with a 7.85 and was third on uneven bars at 8.5. New Hartford’s Madison Scranton won all-around honors with 34.65 as Grayson Gall scored 9.0 on both the floor and uneven bars and teammate Jayla Jordan went 9.45 on the beam to beat Scranton’s 9.35.
Competing again on Saturday, ESM/Liverpool did prevail, 118.3-116.3, over Central Square, and Gorza won a thrilling all-around duel with the Redhawks’ Lizzy Zacholl, 32.7 to 32.6.
Gorzka had the best scores on the floor (8.6), beam (8.2) and uneven bars (7.7), and matched Elise Mancini’s 8.2 on the vault behind Zacholl’s 8.4. Savannah Gowing had an 8.0 on the beam and improved to 8.3 on the floor.
