B-Shore's Olivia O'Connor outdoes herself
From the depths of the hundreds (HUNDREDS!) of calls that came in tonight, I bring you a little bit of awesome:
Bay Shore 169.05, Lindenhurst 104.9, Copiague 96.55: Sophomore Olivia O'Connor won the all-around with a personal-best 38.05 to lead Bay Shore in non-league. Senior twin sisters Brenna (35.85) and Mackenzie O'Connor (35.45) finished second and third in the all-around. This is the highest team score for Bay Shore since the program restarted in 2004, according to head coach Jeff Reid.
Looks like Bay Shore is plenty ready to take on League I and O'Connor, particularly, seems to be shining. It's a little (a lot) early to be thinking about the State championship, but with O'Connor excelling and Long Island's highest finisher, Long Beach's Jennifer Kaufman, coming back, all signs point to a good year for area gymnastics.
