Flippy Notes: State qualifier results

Howdy all,

'Tis me, your trusty neighborhood gymnastics reporter, and I come bearing scores for the gymnastics state qualifier at Hicksville High School. It's a scrappy crew with a lot of young faces and a bunch of well-respected vets at the specialist positions.

Also, I wanna give a shout out to the non-club gymnasts who did well: Oceanside's Diarta Tolaj with an 8.225 on vault, Plainview's Danielle Rueda with a 7.55 on bars, North Shore's Talia Morales with an 8.05 on bars and Wantagh's Lauren O'Hara with an 8.575 on floor.

It was a bit of an uneven meet - a few thrills, a few spills and yes, a few tough breaks. Great job by those who made it, and for those who missed out, no worries. There's always next year. :) *
