The gymnastics team at the Door County YMCA continues its impressive run after competing at the state tournament in Fond du Lac last week. The Strivers turned in an undefeated season and claimed the state championship by a wide 2.6-point margin. Gymnastics Director and coach Nikki Pollman says girls peaked at the right time this season with a strong performance at the Kettle Morraine meet just before state, taking first out of 12 teams. She recaps how the 13 girls competing could medal 42 times at state by focusing on their routines and not worrying about the competition's scores.
Pollman says she hopes to keep all the girls together and have them grow and develop to the next level. The Strivers team consists of girls who attend area public and private schools in Sturgeon Bay, Southern Door, Algoma, Gibraltar, and Sevastopol.
