Arndt competes during her floor routine.

After warm-ups, which started at 9:30 a.m., the HHS team hit the mat and competed in bars, beam, floor and vault consecutively. The Harrisonburg athletes that competed were freshman Dorothy Yates, freshman Ruby Arndt, freshman Nissi Gotay, freshman Chloe Nichols, sophomore Alyce Kilby-Woodward and senior Abby Lachance.

At the end of the meet, the athletes learned that the Broadway team won, but senior Abby Lachance still enjoyed the chance to compete.

“My favorite part about competing was the atmosphere. All the teams were really supportive of each other even as competitors. It was neat hearing encouraging word from other [gymnasts] as well as my own teammates,” Lachance said.
