Despite once again battling several injuries and an absence of it's top scorer, Bethesda-Chevy Chase's gymnastics came out with another win.

The Barons beat Blair with 164.2 points compared to the Blazers' 158.1 points in Tuesday's meet.

It was B-CC's last home meet of the season and seniors Imogen Bradbury and Lauren Beck were recognized. Another senior Lara Magill, who has been recuperating from her own injuries, stepped in to compete vault and floor since several team members were unable to compete.  

Ebony Walters, B-CC's top scorer was unable to compete due to commitments for her upcoming regional USA Gymnastics meet. Whitney Boross is not back to full force after an illness and competed on just bars. Abby Klein is out due to illness. It's something the Barons have become accustomed to this season.

On vault, Steph Golob placed second with 8.75, Magill placed third with 8.55, and Julie Siegel and Lydia Marks shared fifth place with 8.5 points.

On bars, Boross placed second with 9.05, Golob was third with 8.7, and Siegel placed fourth with 8.3.

Nerves seemed to hit the team on balance beam with more falls than usual, but the Barons regrouped to compete well on floor.

Places on balance beam went to Siegel with 8.9 earning second, Golob with 8.8 earning third, Marks with 8.3 earning fourth, and Allegra Barnes with 7.9 earning fifth.

On floor, Golob took second place with 9.15, Siegel took third with 9.1, Marks took fourth place with 8.7, and Barnes took sixth place with 8.4.

All-Around places went to Golob for 2nd place (35.4 points), Siegel for 3rd place (34.8 points) and Marks for 6th place (31 points).

The depth of B-CC gymnastics showed again when they rallied for the win with so many top scorers out.
