MUKILTEO — The Klahhane Gymnastics XCEL Bronze team opened its competition season with a first-place team win at the Harvest Fest meet hosted by GYMagine Gymnastics in Mukilteo on Saturday.
The Bronze gymnasts, age eight to 10 years old, earned top honors and seven of the nine gymnasts qualified for the state competition, achieving all-around scores of 35.0 or higher.
Remarkably, this meet marked the first official USA Gymnastics-sanctioned event for these gymnasts, many of whom were members of the pre-team last year and had only participated in practice meets.
Adrie McGuire delivered an outstanding performance, earning the highest all-around score of the entire Bronze-level session with a 36.150. She and several other gymnasts qualified for state.
McGuire was first on the beam with a 9.25, second on the vault with a 9.2, fifth on the bars (9.0) and seventh on the floor (8.7).
Also qualifying for state were:
