The RPHF gymnastics team started off their season with a competition yesterday in St. Anthony. With an end score of 128.7, they won their first meet of the year. They hope to continue their season with much success and to improve as a team all throughout the season. This season the Flamingos have ten returning players, so they will rely on those girls to lead the way for the rest of the team. Coach Katelyn Meier says that since they have been playing together so long, this brings an opportunity for each teammate to “support each other with their struggles.” Coach Meier then went on to say how having so many returning players means that “coaches will have a stronger bond with their gymnasts.” This season they will greatly rely on their returning players to lead the team. However, with being a co-op sports comes some disadvantages. Since the teammates do not get to see each other year round, it is difficult to keep the bond between players in the off season. Coach Meier also said how it hard to communicate with three schools in an efficient way and that despite these difficulties, they manage to find a way to overcome these obstacles. Along with the disadvantages also come advantages that greatly out weight the negative parts of being a co-op team. Coach Meier says, “They are a fun, energetic part of our team! We are so lucky to have girls who want to compete even from a half an hour away.” She also would like to thank Alyssa Prater for assistant coaching this season regardless of the thirty minute commute. With their season in full swing, the flamingos’ have a few goals in mind. The first is that all throughout the season, they will strive for every teammate to improve from last year and compete at a higher level than last season. Another goal they hope to meet is to achieve a new personal best for each gymnast on each event. Overall, they will strive for each individual to improve their scores and to improve their team score. Good luck to Christeva and Killeen on the rest of their season!
