Port Angeles’ Scarlett Sullivan qualified for state on the vault with an 8.5, the bars with a 6.8 and the beam with a 7.975.
Sequim’s Lucy Spelker will head to state in the bualt with an 8.7, good for seventh. And the beam with an 8.25 and the floor exercise with a 9.050. Her teammate Susannah Sharp was fifth in the vault with an 8.675. She also qualified on the floor exercise with an 8.875.
