CCX Sports presents coverage of the section 6aa gymnastics meet from Hopkins High School the winner goes on to the state meet next week in St Paul hello and welcome to Hopkins High School John Jacobson along with Debbie rason de it’s been a long time since we have done a
Section championships section 5aa or 6aa and we’re happy to be here today at Hopkins you know I’ve been pushing for this for a while now and stuff so to be here today at 6aa to see Hopkins and wetta go head-to-head in this meet is so exciting we are in for a treat tonight
And it is going to be a nailbiter now just a little housekeeping mention here at right at the beginning the only two schools in this region that are in our CCX area are wett and Hopkins so those are the only two under the bylaws that we can actually cover today so if you’re
From one of the Minneapolis schools St Louis Park and he Dino watching is back unfortunately you won’t see your athletes here today they’re all competing so we’ll just be focusing on Whit out and Hopkins and they will be without question the top two teams in this section wetta won a couple of years
Ago they won several times won State last year or that year and then in 2023 Hopkins won its first section championship in 14 years and they’re excited to repeat today both of these teams ranked in the top 12 in class doublea you know they are so close they
Have their five routines deep on every single event they have incredible coaching staff um but this will prove our Theory we’ve said for many years that the balance beam can make a break so we’re going to watch these teams today on all the events but the balance
Beam could be the deciding factor it is the event that has the most room for um score big scores little scores you’ve got balance checks you’ve got Falls it’s 4 in wide it’s 4T off the ground so usually who wins beam can usually win the whole thing
But it could be a nailbiter today let’s look at the rotation order that we will follow today wetta will get us started on the Vault and then Hopkins will follow and each of the events Hopkins follows wetta and so I talked to both coaches and they both like their
Position we Isetta likes going first they feel like hey we can put a little pressure on Hopkins Hopkins likes we know what we’re going to need to do in each of the events so uh we’ll see how it turns out and if it really makes a
Difference in the end you’ve got to have your athletes hit right they to be consistent this is what they’ve been working for even though everyone wants to get to the state meet it is a tough road to get there this is the first step so you have planned all year You’
Practiced you’ve trained your athletes mentally physically for this meet once you get to the state meat that’s like icing on the cake but the competition to get there is so huge so you know coaches um in talking with both coaches they say their girls are ready they are prepared
They have put in the hours in the numbers in the gym and today they’re excited to compete and while only one team will advance individuals can advance so only one of these two teams is going to go to the state as in the team portion but we’ll almost certainly
See athletes from the runnerup team that will advance on to the individual portion of the state meet because they’re actually two separate meets Friday and Saturday next week at Roy Wilkins and you know and along with that again we talk about you know the logistics of not being able to um show
Other athletes there’s a couple of individuals here from other teams that have the potential to make it to State too so along with the team competition some of these girls individually are buying for a spot to compete as well even though your team doesn’t go you can
Go as an individual should be a great one we’ll get it started in a minute wetta up first on the Vault region 6aa section championships today from Hopkins High School coming up on CCX N We’re back at Hopkins High School and ready to go for today’s section 6aa championships John Jacobson Debbie rasmon White set of the girls up first on the Vault followed by Hopkins on the Vault and then bars beam and four exercise to follow Kate manol will lead
It all for we setas the teams are competing completing their warm-ups right now Kylie eile will be second then Haley Swinson Michaela lbal and Ashley moena will be their Fifth and final competitor today we are um wi that and Hopkins are lucky enough to do what they call
Olympic rotation you start on the Vault you go to bars then beam and you end on floor I think sometimes starting on the vault is nice because you have so much energy and adrenaline and this is a good event to get the Jitters out take some
Of the the adrenaline down just a little bit um we are going to be looking for body positions Landings are going to be crucial in a meet between these two teams every 10th is going to matter when it comes to this a three-minute touch rotation just about complete coaches are
Ready athletes are ready what an exciting time right I mean you’re a little nervous but you’re excited this is what you work for since October to get to today well and and especially because these two teams are so close so that’s added pressure but it’s also added excitement they’re going to be
Able to watch each other compete on the events they’re going to see oh gosh if they went five for five we need to go five for five but exactly it’s almost harder to to win this meet than it is you know to um make it to State Kate
Manon with their first Vault gets us started today from Hopkins Caitlyn does a handspring full and her body position is so incredible on this we are G judges are going to be looking for straight arms notice she has a straight body she does a beautiful full twist has that
Little step off to the side but in VA you get two so that’s um kind of a good thing it’s like having them migan engulf if you needed it so she’s going to really want to work on that block get a little bit more height so she can just nail this
Landing again another really nice Vault beautiful form and then just that step forward her first Vault scored an 8.875 so good way to start we’ll see what Vault number two scores for Kate little more look at her second [Applause] Vault one thing I love to see is when
She comes off that uh springboard she is her body is in a full handstand extended position there’s no Bend in the hips no piking again it should score pretty well Kylie you file us up [Applause] next Kylie doing that same Vault a handspring full they want to make sure
She had a little bit of a stumble on the back side of that Vault so that will um cost her just a little bit for for that one thing in a meat of this caliber is you just really want to make sure that you go five for five so again we
Talk she’s got a second Vault you’ll see she just kind of over rotated that and had to take that step down she’s going to want to hit [Applause] this me four for her first Vault the second Vault for Kate Manon actually identical to her first [Applause] 8.875 um probably not the way Kylie
Wanted to start this meet off because she did have the fall on that second Vault too you’ll see here she just didn’t quite get enough rotation around to make that come all the way around so why that is in a situation now where the next three volters have to hit they have
To they they’re going to want to drop that score will probably be the low score of their vaulting rotation haly Swinson up next Kaylee same thing she they just need to settle down just a little a little bit you can tell that the pressure is there but that was a
Beautiful ball great body extension good full twist she just needs to stay a little tighter and nail that Landing five gymnast in each rotation the top four scores go toward the team score and Vault the only event where you get two shots at it haly swon first B 8.75 ball
Two beautiful there we go that’s what they needed to do um just block harder get those Jitters out make that Landing she just had a small step forward beautiful body position on that Vault again perfect extension legs were glued Together full twist complete just that little step forward on the
Landing see here she blocks just that just that little step forward and it did score higher for 8. 875a lall is next one of the all-rounders along with Kyla eile and Ashley moena today for the Troan beautiful beautiful handspring full this one is almost textbook perfect she hits the handstand she blocks she does the twist the only thing she needs to do is just tighten up the that Landing just a little bit so she doesn’t have those steps look at this full
Extension legs are locked I love when they don’t twist until they block off that vating [Applause] [Applause] platform 9.02 five for Michaela’s first Vault and again another really nice nice ball that form is just amazing and the twist is beautiful again just that step on the [Applause] landing notice that body position and I love she blocks she almost pauses for a moment then does that fo twist which
Makes it even more strong 91 for ash Michaela’s second Vault Ashley moena first and few vaults for her Ashley does a sukari vault which is a round off onto the the vaulting platform and then a back flip off she had great hype on that one um again just
Those Landings become so crucial in a meet like this so they just really need to so she does this half on back flip off and step just a step down um back to the side she’s just going to want to try to get her chest up a little bit quicker
When she lands that Vault the heights amazing and it’s just [Applause] beautiful 8.95 for Ashley’s first Vault and the Freshman with their second [Applause] Vault there there you go that was beautiful her chest was up a little bit higher she was in more control of that landing and just that step backwards
This um should score higher than the first one it was very nicely [Applause] done and scores a 9.1 for the second ball so both Michaela lall and Ashley Mingo there scoring team High 9 points one on the Vault we’ll take our first break Hopkins will have their warm-ups

Vivian craying laid it off and it’s Addison Walters AA Bron n Simone Britt and Annabelle Spears the thing Hopkins has that’s very unusual for high schools they have three 10 start vaults which puts them at a little bit of an advantage Vian kinger high score this year an 8.7
Very nice Vault she does a halfon full off and that was a solid Landing a little bit of a form break there’s some Bend in the knees um during some of that twisting but you can’t land this Vault any better than she did she may get a small deduction she
Didn’t quite make it all the way around on that full twist and an 8.5 for her first fall second Vault for Vivian kaying same another really nice Vault um again made it around a little bit more in that full twist really good block nice start for
Hopkins you see here she does that half on full twist off she completes that twist a little bit more than she did on the first Vault second Vault scored an 8.4 Madison Walters is up next high score this season for the sore on this event a [Applause] [Applause] 9.25 really nice ball for her she does a Yenko um onto the Vault and then does a nice kind of like equivalent to a handspring only she’s just going um a nice block to a really solid Landing the Yenko start is basically she does a roundoff back handing round off on the
Springboard backand sping she look like that might have been a half twist or possibly even a let’s see how that one scores 8.95 and here’s her second Vault there that one was was much better that full twist on to the the beginning of the Vault had um was a little bit more clear
You could tell she made that full twist on and then does that half twist off so this is again another really um strong start for Hopkins on the ball tier so here you’ll see she does the round off and then full twist she’s able to complete it a little bit better than the
First Vault and then the half Twist [Applause] Off seems happy with that 9.02 five for Vault 2 so definitely a higher score Ava Brom up next has scored as high as a 9.35 really nice fall so she she does a year chenle full twist on full twist off lots of control on that great landing just that small step beautiful form that she has so here’s her roundoff entry full twist and then full twist off just a
Little bit shy of the full twist on the the front side of that Vault but it should still score pretty well she had great form Hopkins with three volters de with vaults with a 10.0 start value which you don’t see a lot of in high school on the same team we have three
Girls and that’s where they can really score some points there are teams in college that don’t have three 10 starts so um probably Hopkins best event is what I’m guessing and I can see [Applause] why more more Vault for Ava 9.35 that matches their season high on vault
One again another really really nice vaults I love that she just has such a nice line she’s she’s a taller gymnast probably at what 55 maybe but um she creates such a beautiful line when you’re taller and just really has a lovely Vault so here again you’ll see that roundoff on
Full twist off that that full twist on is just a hair shy of an actual full twist but still a really nice score for her 9.425 that’s a season High what a time to hit it right exactly Nia Simone Britt runner up at state in this event last
Year see something here is powerful really really nice she does a Yenko um in the late out position there was a tiny tiny Pike in her hips um it still will start at at a ten0 because it was in the L up but you’ll see here she
Just had this is beautiful and then you’ll just see a little tiny Pike shoulders down on that Landing but still should score really really well 9. 625 from very close to her season high of 9.65 she just needs to block a little harder and just let the The Vault do its
Work she is so strong and just needs to hold that layout a little bit longer beautiful you’ll see her chest was up a little bit higher she got a little bit more distance did have to take that step on the landing but this is reminiscent
Of Cheney new back in the day when she did this fault and got that perfect 10 gorgeous faults she hits hits that Landing see just the the step back on the landing beautiful excuse me Deb 9.65 for Nia Simone so that ties your season high and we still got one more Annabelle
Spears about that now with the last three girls doing 10 you can change up that rotation so that you can hopefully maybe get this score to be up there too nice fa good Landing just needs to be a little quicker on that Twist on the on the pre-flight of that afterlight was Beautiful in a vault like this they’re going to want almost that whole twist to be completed before she’ll probably lose a little couple of tents for that [Applause] 9.2 for a first ball one more for [Applause] Annabelle all right that one she had such a quick twist off the back hand but
Had to take that step to the side along with the team competition these girls individually are trying to make it to the state me also so the top three girls on each event regardless of what school will continue on to stay too you’ll see here she’s just a little shy great twist
But unfortunately has to take that step to the side and her second ball to 9.05 so that first Vault scoring just a little bit higher for Annabelle Spears overall good first rotation though for the Hopkins Royals defending section Champions we will take a break come back
We’ll give you their scores and then we head to the uneven bars Next Welcome back to Hopkins High School first rotation for Hopkins viian King starting out with an 8.5 the high score there ni Simone G 9.65 and Hopkins a good opening rotation they top 37 points 37.3 so already up 1.35 points on wetta as we head to the uneven bars wetta will be up first
Here Ashley MinGa who went last on the Vault leads off on the bars mie Kul next McKenna Coen kler eile and Michaela lall Bo thata just needs to be as clean as possible so that they can maybe make up up some of the difference they are a
Strong bar team not for sure so we got a beautiful start here look at the form on these Giants they’re fabulous that’s how you land a Dismount that was absolutely fantastic there was no movement no step to the side great way for wetta to start exactly what they
Needed you just need to kind of get those Jitters out of the way and do the gymnastics that they are capable of right [Applause] now just what a amazing body position she floats there’s not a step she turns and salutes the judges coach Abby is definitely happy about that [Applause] One great routine for Ashley to lead off for wisti why that M K will be next for the Trojans we wait for the score for ashid that should be a good one to start [Applause] [Applause] out 8.75 nice start for wetta it’s what they needed and we want the scores to build from here Mighty kufel who was injured at the beginning of the season when we televised the Dual meet between Hopkins and wetta but back now I believe this is her only event that she’s competing in
Tonight and she can swing bars it’s absolutely beautiful wow nice nice double back for um that Dismount and she just has that small step back her form and her toe Point are exceptional and on bars what we’re looking for is the fluidity of the routine one move goes
Into the next move you have to switch your direction you have to change bars look at those Giants and just this lovely double back tiny step backwards should score really well she can tell she’s happy for that good to have her [Applause] back again the waiting game for the
Scores but so far two for two for wetta nice [Applause] start 86 from one judge 865 the total for mny Kel Kena con up next Ken [Applause] junor a first look at her [Applause] tonight just that Glide Kip there’s her change of Direction into long hang
Kip she’s going to do a shoot over beautiful just a little Bend in the legs there and go for her Giants nice form again the toe point I just love when dyus have a good toe Point nice layout Dismount just a little loose on that Landing had to take that
Step but again a nice routine for wetta they seem to be coaches seem to be very happy about that as well and like Maddie for mechan hen this is this is her only event of the day and nicely done by the Junior look at it again here she does this shoot
Over and just has a little bit oh she took a little tap there I’m not sure how much that deduction will be but look at these Giants beautiful layout Fly Away looks like she has a bad ankle so that’s probably really hard to land on anyways those are some tough tough
Competitors when you’re working with an injury [Applause] and the waiting game for the scores doesn’t help things either being that she’s a specialty on this event too you know she’s trying to get to State um on her best event also 8.925 for McKenna Cohen nice score for her two
More gymnasts left for wi Zetta Kyler eile and Michaela lall KY eile who for an 8.4 on the Vault here on the bars and she’s going to want to make up for that Vault and so far she does a kip does a switch Kip cast to a handstand into a straddle
Catch going into these long hand Kips really nice great arms good extension on that and same thing beautiful Giants oh gosh beautiful layout FlyAway with a full twist just really loose in the landing unfortunately that they will consider that a fall and that will probably cost her um five T of a point
On that so this was gorgeous do that stradle catch and then she just goes into long hand Kips these are absolutely beautiful she looks like everything’s going great and just shoulders were a little low and had to take that fall that is gosh unfortunate and kind of heartbreaking too cuz the routine up
Until that point was fantastic both of these coaching staffs have been together a long time Carly Holden the head coach at wetta got former wetta gymnast on her staff and uh has had a number of successful gymnast and the team champions back in 2022 which is which was a fun year to to
Watch wetta do that and then you know switch places with Hopkins that made it last year so Mel Al lung ball up next really nice um Kip to a switch Kip there’s a kip cut catch which is her release move going on for her giant swing great form arm positions
Beautiful nice full twisting layout just the tiniest of step forward that should get a big score for wi Isetta and that’s what they need she seems happy with That again there’s the kip cut catch which fulfills a release move requirement she cast immediately into the handstand arms are perfectly straight toes are pointed beautiful full twist way above oh and she was fighting for that stuck landed nice job that should score well for Michaela [Applause]
Lenval again the kind of how the team competition works is that you have five girls goal four girls count in the score so even though we had a fall on wise out it we need the next three girls up to be stellar and she was that was very good look like 9075 for Carling and you definitely want to get as many many scores in the nines as you can we’ll take a break our next rotation the Hopkins Royals up next on the bars when we come Back CCX media is the first place you go for local news and sports but did you know you can sign up for those stories to go straight to your inbox on our website simply go to CCX media.org click on the Subscribe button and from there choose which notifications you want to

8.75 and for wetta as a team that gives them 35.5 75 for that rotation 71.5 to5 right now through two full rotations for wetta and Hopkins up next on the bars and they are ready to go baric McAn lead it off for Hopkins her high score on this event this year an
8.2 she does a kip switch Kip and then does um these are rear rep Rises into a back hip circle into a long hang Kip and a very very unique Dismount she does a half Twist on the back swing and then throws a front flip off have not
Seen that that one was really really good I love when you see something different we see a lot of the same full twisting layout um you know double back things like that but here she crosses her grip does a half twist underneath into a really nice laid out
Or a front front flip Dismount into a really solid Landing too how excited she is I’ve never seen someone when she’s working the bar she’s looking to the side it’s you know every gymnast has their own little quirky little things that they do um and it worked that was a
Beautiful start for Hopkins usually you want your gymnast your first gymnast St might not be the best gymnast have the most difficulty you want that girl to be consistent to set those scores and the bars is is an event that this works on the bean definitely is something that
You want to have that type of strategy Mari scores a 7.95 it’s a lead off for Hopkins here’s Vivian King does a straddle or um a kip into a straddle half turn which is her change of Direction going into her Giants two really nice Giants nice laid out Flyway Dismount shoulders were a little bit low but it had a pretty good landing on that Again we talk about what the judge is looking for most importantly is straight arms straight legs and and that one one um skill goes right into the next you’ll see here nicely fly away just small little little step back on the landing it should score pretty well for her it was very
Clean divian one of four all-rounders competing today for Hopkins ABA Brom will be next and then nice someone Brit and Annabelle Spears again the waiting Game [Applause] [Applause] all right got to get those numbers in the right order we got one score we need to find the next one there we all right 8175 M Vivian [Applause] King and now Ava Brom her high score 8.7 to5 on the bars this [Applause]
Season starts out with the long H kick facing that opposite direction does a bail over the top did have to um tap her feet there on that she had a tiny form break on that one but this really nice layout Flyway full twist just a step back on that
Landing in a bar routine you need to have release moves and that um it’s called a bail it’s where they do a shoot over with a half twist you’ll see here she shoots over the top does that half twist she does have a tap of her feet on
There I’m not sure what that deduction will be nice Giants full twist step back on that [Applause] Landing [Applause] you know again you talk about um Hopkins having four all-arounders so as we said earlier in the meet top three on each event top three all-arounders no matter
What school they come from will get to go on to that state me as [Applause] well is that a chance to make up some points perhaps in this rotation on this apparatus after Hopkins had score one 35 points Higher on their vault routines now here we go it’s Nia Simone Brit Nia doing a handspring squad on here if she’s going to go for giant swings half pure wet she’ll do that shoot over beautiful job didn’t touch her feet on that one at all and she go for giant swings here
And that was a gorgeous layout Flyway Dismount You Can Tell She’s All Smiles um great landing on that had a few little form breaks maybe didn’t hit the handstand all the way at that top level but beautiful routine for her see there’s her giant swing she does
A half of a pirouette does that shoot over the low bar nice Kip out of that she doesn’t touch her feet at all and this was just like I’m just going to float bam no step turns and salutes the jud’s good routine Annabelle Spears is the only
Hopkins athlete who has scored in the nines on this event she scored a 9.45 and at one meet and will be the Fifth and final competitor today for the [Applause] Royals and we’re going to get to see she does a a move here called a pack Salto
Which you see a lot in college and in the Olympics and when we saw her doing it warm it was beautiful she goes long P Kip she’s going to cast here’s that pack Salto gorgeous really nice job into the switch Kip here goes for the squat on long hand
Kip she does a free hip into that handstand which is a great connection going to do I believe wow that was a double twist Flyway beautifully done perfect stuck Landing the pack salt though was exactly how you want it to be and the double twist she’s such a
Snappy twister saw that on vault too it’s just quick and snappy very good she’s going to be going to be happy with that routine it’s going to be a good score no could not have finished any better right no uh-uh from the high bar into the disount here’s that pack Salto so
It’s kind of like a back flip in Between the Bars and what she doesn’t break form at all does this Rich Kip and here’s this now watch this she lets go and then Snappy twist the Teeny tiniest hob on that Landing that was beautiful absolutely Beautiful so one score go up at 95 waiting for the judge on The Far Side to come up with her score but uh nicely done by Annabelle Spears um I was saying mid NS it needs to be in the mid 9s but it does look
Like now we might have a why is the judge there no 9.5 there you go a good finish for Annabelle Spears or season High and a great finish for Hopkins on the bars welome back our next event is the balance beam always a crucial one in gymnastics we’ll see why he that up
First rotation five coming up from Hopkins High School after this N There’s a score for Hopkins on the uneven bars and de Rasmus and the last three girls AA ROM Nia Simone bre and Annabelle Spears all hit season high scores that gave them a good rotation and they are now up 72.9 to 71.5 to5 as we move to the balance beam Kate Manon
Lead it off for white Retta she’ll be followed by Avery Higgins Kylie eile Ashley MinGa and Michaela lbal beautiful split jump into full twisting tuck jump wetta needs to be five strong and clean on this event to try to make up for some of you know the the points that they they definitely
Need watching them in warmups hang on to that oh gosh um you know they looked pretty good they look pretty solid the as you can see him having that little chat rallying him a bit there’s a nice punch front um off that balance beam when we are looking at the balance beam
This is the event that has the most room for deductions there are balance checks there’s Falls there’s missed connections if you have a balance check in between a couple of skills then you lose that connection which then decreases your score she had a couple of balance checks
There but a nice punch front disc Mount this event more than anything is important that your first girl up is your most consistent and I think they had a good start for wetta on this routine might not have had all the difficulty that we’ll be seen but she
Was strong she was consistent couple of balance checks here she should set the tone for a pretty decent start for wetta you could make up 1.42 Five Points in these next two events and this is probably their best chance to make up some points right yep [Applause] you because every every little 10th
Counts if you can be strong you know the Hopkins team has to come next on balance beam not grounded they’re having a great meet so far but this event right here can change a lot of things kman yon scored an 8.625 and Avery Higgins we’ll see her also on the floor
Exercise her first Varsity the first uh event that she’s in today I’m used to saying Varsity event because we often do JB and varsity side by side side by side she did a back hands sping there and she was supposed to do that into a
Beat jump she did have that fall so this is going to be a routine that wisett is going to want to drop beautiful split jumps with a half turn in that she’s going to go for the cartwheel into that second cartwheel what you want is for that foot to swing
Through and not touch to get that connection unfortunately she did have to put that foot down there the full turn is something that has to be in every single Routine does up nice nice Pike jump into that back flip Dismount off the side so now the next three routines are so important they have got to hit for Yetta to get that momentum back I mean even though she had a fall this still was a routine that was full of some
Difficulties and good connections right there you have that Pike jump into a beautiful back flip Dismount no movement that Landing was stuck solid so still a chance to get a decent score here for Avery she waits her score and Kylie Ile Waits on [Applause] Deck the dreaded waiting the waiting game worst part about [Applause] gymnastics one judge looks like they might be ready to go we’re waiting for the second [Applause] judge here we go scores are up 7425 for Avery Higgins and now Kylie you file Kylie wants to have the routine of
Her life right now she’s had a had kind of a difficult start on the first two events she is really pretty on balance beam to watch beautiful cartwheel swing through made that connection nice round off gorgeous full turn walks right out of [Applause] that getting ready for a leap series switch leap
Into 3/4 twisting jump beautiful job it’s really also really hard to come after you’ve had a teammate fall this Wow Let’s I mean I want to stand up and start clapping that was beautiful she’s had such a tough meat so far she couldn’t have come back any
Better on that event nice beam routine great connections good form here’s this 3/4 wolf jump right into that back flip those arms keep moving so she should get the connection to a solid Landing she has to be so relieved and she should be very proud sometimes after you start a meet
The last thing you want to do is good Lord go to the balance beam of all events that should score in the high eights we’ll see for for Kylie that was great that’s exactly what wi Isetta needed to get things back on track and Hope hopefully hopefully that will just give
Her a little bit more confidence she can go out on floor and have a great [Applause] time 9.05 and 9.25 that’s a great score 9.15 for Kylie eile so just want to clap and be giddy beautiful standing back [Applause] tuck Ashley moena at Team High 9.1 on the Vault
Earlier hang on to that fight for everything here we’ve got we a standing back flip cartw cartw really nicely done made those connections switch leap into twisting split leap good [Applause] job wow back handspring full twist Dismount solid Landing no movement on that you couldn’t have done that routine
Any better and you can tell she’s just kind of a mellow you know just every day I do a standing back flip on the beam I’m pretty good back to back really good routines for Wisa here on the beam yep and like I said this is um back handspring full
Twist like doesn’t even move anything that was such a nice job good routine for her this too should be I would think in the nines as well you know um I know that wi that a they are really consistent in the gym during training on the balance beam and and it
Shows here they’re so far they’re doing a beautiful job I love the fact that even after the fall the next two up just hit and that’s exactly exactly what we need right now for wetta still working on the score for Ashley MinGa as Michaela lval patiently awaits her [Applause]
Routine the one score looks like a 9.35 waiting waiting [Applause] Waiting and there it is a good score 9225 for asley moranga really good score for her on that Kila L ball up [Applause] [Applause] next starts out with that squat Mount right into a jump full turn get that full turn out of the way right away cuz it’s a lot harder than it [Applause] looks Hang on okay she did put her hand down which will be a deduction but it wasn’t a fall So gorgeous cartwheel Series so in control beautifully done three quarter twisting wolf jump balance check at the end of that but again not bad getting ready for her combination here she’ll do back handspring back tuck beautiful landing on that just that one bounce check she did reach down and grab
The beam I know that’s it’s you know a deduction but still she didn’t fall you’ll see here this was lovely back hands Spring right into that nice high tuck back solid Landing turns and salutes the judges you know why that I couldn’t have done any more than they did they
Absolutely came conquered they they all rallied they had the one fall but the next three up were really good routines for them way to go WIS and for m a little Bobble in the middle but recovered nicely and no Falls and no Falls yep senior all around rder in
Her well next to last meet it’s almost certain that even if their team didn’t qualify she would qualify at at state but uh this is going to be right down to the wire between these two top two teams Hopkins and why out it today we’re not certainly counting out the Trojans at
All no and and Hopkins has to go on balance beam now granted they’re on a roll they have had an exceptional meet so far and a lot of times teams will get that and the energy and the confidence just ooes on to the next event so hopefully wisett can or um Hopkins can
Bring that to the balance be too score of 8.95 for Michael lval wrapping things up for y Zetta on the balance beam next rotation the Hopkins Royals will be up on the beam we have that for you as we continue with our coverage of the section 6aa gymnastics championships on CCX CCX media your source for great local programming is available on Amazon Fire TV Apple TV and Roku our free app allows you to stream all three of our channels live you’ll also have access to a large OnDemand Library including full sporting events and daily newscasts to

Bal beam there are their individual scores 8.625 starting out in high Ashley manga 9225 couple of scores in the nines and for wetta as a team now they are through three full events just the floor exercise left for them and their score 107.4 75 with Hopkins now pressure kind of on them although
They lead this meter coming into this Rotation by about 1.75 points like okay we can hit on the beam pretty consistently with at least four of our five athletes we should win the meat I don’t know if that’s what’s going through their head but that’s what’s going through my head right if if
If consistent here for Hopkins we should go on and win to meet well we are underway now with Hopkins on the balance beam starting with Allison Walters yep they definitely are on a roll they’ve had two really great rotations and and if they come to the
Balance beam and they stay on the beam basically I think they will be going into the floor pretty strong but we’ve watched the balance beam take out some of the best teams as well good start for Addison so far here she scored as high as 8.82 five in this event on the
Season you know they’ve got that um energy and momentum going with some really really good scores so far beautiful show of flexibility there just the tiniest of balance check there again we talk about your first girl up you don’t need to be the best you just need to be consistent to set
The the scores and great job for them great job the soft to to beat a team that gets on a role like this and they have the momentum and they are um consistent so far but we do have four more girls to go I love the little crown at the end
There nice job on that backflip Dismount solid Landing all smiles for Addison Walters leading off for Hopkins on the [Applause] beam the beam is one of those events when you’re done and you’ve done your job you sit down and go good good good cuz the next event is floor and that’s just fun Vivian kaying will be up next for
Hopkins we work on the score for Addison Walters I think beam is the toughest event to score as well for the judges cuz there’s so much room for little deductions as balance checks Falls misconnections I think it’s one of the harder events she scored an 8.65 five and now Vivian [Applause] kaying nice job on that cartwheel roundoff [Applause] [Applause] connection split jump to 3/4 twisting wolf jump good job [Applause] do a switch Le to a twisting tuck jump back flip off the side nice job should be happy with that routine as well Vivian and all Runners G as high as 8.55 this year on the B on the
Beam she she might not have the difficulty in the tumbling tricks you know we didn’t see the backand springs or things like that but she had great connections this year switch sleep twisting straddle right into the back flip off the side nice [Applause] job Annabelle fears see one of the
Captains there still to come one of the top beam athletes in the state she’ll be the fifth competitor I can’t tell if they the beam is loose perhaps I’ve never seen the beam usually just stays it’s not a piece of appara it that’s adjusted so maybe they’re just making
Sure it’s not going to move or be solid this is the first time today we’ve had judges actually confer on a score as they uh work on the score for Vivian kaying AA Brom is up next but she’s going to wait till the judge Judes work
On the score for Vivian and you’ll see there is a head judge and she whenever there’s a discrepancy she comes over and you know she’s like a almost like a meat referee and they’re going to go through everything that was in that beam routine was there a connection did she miss
Something was there a bobble where are my deductions coming from versus where your deductions are coming from and a meat that’s this important in this size you want that type of strategy if there’s going to be a judges conference to get the proper score cuz every little Point Counts meet referee is a Michelle Hull but there’s a chief judge acting judge for each of the four events when you get to State now there’s four judges on each event compared to two for for today and the regular season meets and then at that State event which is really kind of
A unique situation too they start one event at a time so all four judges you’ll start on the Vault and no event goes until that is judged and you judge that with the four and the meat referee then you go over to the bars then the
Beam and then the floor you want to make sure that your judges are all on the same page all consistent again this is when you’re being judged by a human versus you the score AA Brom up next 8. 325 the score for Vivian Kaying that F turn there doing some balance checks on that nothing major o she was so far off the side I thought there’s no way she’s going to pull that out and she did beautiful three cartwheels the last one Ariel cartw a little beat jump twisting wolf jump
Back full twist off the side that was a really really nice routine a little Bobble but that was a difficult routine that was a difficult routine that that’s um the air you know you’re watching girls doing those cartwheels and struggling a little bit she does three cartwells cartw swish through cartw and
Then does that aerial C R which is a c r with no hands you see here right here beautiful height solid little balance check on the end there but that’s a tough a tough move and here’s her [Applause] Dismount that routine should should score really well pretty good for Hopkins so far Deb
Here be the best two gymnasts to come yeah they are and this can happen with teams you know we see this at all levels of gymnastics not just the high school you’ll see it in college you’ll see it in the Olympics where you just get on a
Roll and you’re feeding off that energy and one hits and the next hits and the next hit and the scores just are you can tell they’re just going up from there thank that scores a 9.05 for Ava Brom Nia Simone Brits up next has scored as high as 9.55 on the beam this
Year and so far she is having to meet she is all the events have been great for her mat season high on the Bol got her season high on the bars wow she was able to save that I it’s when you’re watching the beam from
This level you can see just a dip in their shoulders and they are off hang on hang on oh man they are fighting for everything stuck that one beautiful [Applause] getting ready for the Dismount roundoff layout fights for not a movement that was fantastic I don’t think you can ask more
Of your athletes right now the Hopkins girls are definitely they’re here they want to win and uh so far so good they’re doing great that was a beautiful routine watch Di Simone again watch this just you know it’s funny when you see some of the leaps and there’s the little
Balance checks and then you throw a standing back flip and there’s not a movement at all gorgeous layout FlyAway now one thing that we should point out whether it’s fair or not fair this is their gy this is their equipment they work on this this every every gym
Obviously has their own equipment but some equipment can be different and you are so comfortable in your gym every year someone different hosts these meets and you know it’s it’s this is Hopkins gym and and I think I personally think that’s a little tiny bit of a you know
Comfort Advantage if if there is such a thing and they’ve all said this me for several years now it’s uh I mean it has the space you have to have a sp like why that gym is nice but it’s just all the whole the the host the section meet
Whereas this you have the space this was the old Hopkins High School gymnasium where they played basketball and volleyball before they built the Royals Athletics Center next door uh two and a half decades ago U this was the gym and so it’s plenty it’s built for uh well enough space where you have
Room for spectators and your equipment here 9 .3 score for Nia Simone so not a season high but a very very good score very good score and now Annabelle Spears who also is is having an outstanding [Applause] Meat place that’s an all-arounder at State last year this is her final meet in this gym just hung on goodness Sak she hung on to that it’s like I said when they look like they’re they’re going to fall off they struggle to stay on that balance beam and that’s a
Good that’s a sign of a very strong [Applause] gymnast beautiful standing back flip just the tiniest of balance move there beautifully done little beat jump wolf jump whoa I don’t know if you could tell but she was hanging on to that by her toes when she did that and threw that full
Twist off the end there good job nearly a fall early on but recovered nicely hung on and then recovered nicely and finished strong and I got to tell you I don’t know how she would now here she just I don’t know how she stayed on I really don’t but beautifully
Done there’s the beachum watch her toes on this one it is like by her tippy tippy tippies and there she goes into the full to well they they have one event and um floor is an event where you can just sit back you still obviously have to you
Know do well don’t step out of bounds don’t stumble on anything but boy does she Hopkins is having a good meet so far we hang on here before we go to break and give you the score for Annabelle it’s a good rotation for Hopkins that’s
Where wi that if they were going to make up points would have needed Hopkins to have some Falls certainly some bounce checks and and bobles but but no foul Falls in those uh routines they did not give anything away on that event judges are talking about it no
Final score yet as you see Annabelle patiently waiting to see where that routine landed her I’m assuming she’ll be one of the top three all-arounders she’s had quite the beat so far wa yep not done yet they are kind of have that conference again some of it could be because of the
Connections I mean she um in some of those Balance checks if if you know you stop that movement technically you don’t have that connection although I didn’t didn’t see much of that in here so I’m not exactly sure where the discrepancies can come one score put up you see the n [Applause] .1 we’ll see if that holds they must have taken more for the almost fall I wow yeah she definitely got nicked for that uh Bobble early an 8 n and a 91 gives her a score of 9.0 little little surprised at that score be to touch higher so Hopkins is
Through that rotation we have just the floor exercise to go for these teams weeta will be up next more CCX gymnastics on the way The score scor for the Hopkins Royals on the balance beam an 8.65 8325 and then three scores in the nine Top by ni Molen Brits 9.3 we are through six rotations and Hopkins maintaining its lead about a point and a half as we go into the final
Event of the night we are up on the flo exercise with Avery Higgins up first Higgins snon you file moena and lval Avery her second event tonight we saw her on the balance beam leading off here for the Trojans on the [Applause] Floor [Applause] [Applause] Avery Higgins one final pass here Deb on the floor Avery’s going to want to make up for that beam routine and so far everything looks really good that was a Beau full round up two backand Springs back Flip nice ending position for [Applause] her why is that a just you know what they just need to have fun and do what they came to do and you can’t control what the other team do you go out and do your best finish strong and what happens happens right
Exactly she has a a really nice it’s a front handspring full twist now inuring warm-ups we saw her sit that down so she is probably so thankful she was it was a little bit low but she landed it it was fine and then we go into our last
Tumbling pass R up two back hands Springs really nice high back tuck just going to score on the upper eights it looks like Haley Swinson will be next a great way to start 8.70 for Avery Higgins Alis Winson we saw her very early in the meet in the vault and now
Competing in the floor exercise she opened up with a double twisting tuck jump which is really wonderful and very hard full twisting punch front and into that dive [Applause] Roll again nice um switch split leap L turning to twisting tongue jump good combination anytime you do those jumps and you add those twisting elements that increases your score round up two back handsprings to a nice high tuck [Applause] [Applause] getting ready for that final tumbling pass taking that big breath to end [Applause] Strong wow good job punch front punch front both of them were really [Applause] High ends with little Roar there on that that was a fun routine it was entertaining it had great combinations in those leaps and jumps with the twisting elements in there so we take a look at this first tumbling pass she does punch front with a full twist in that laid out position right
Into that dive roll a second tumbling pass round up two back hands Springs look at the height great block on that and then these two punch fronts I think the second one got higher than the first nice job good landing on those and it scores her a score of even
Nine for Haley Swanson here’s Kylie Eile full twisting switch sleep full twisting split [Applause] jump round off one and a half twist able to hang on to that good Job setting up for that second T cast taking a little bit of a breather [Applause] Here punch front walk out into roundoff tuck Back and a round off full twist she just floats those that is beautiful job and I love her form every time that foot leaves the floor that toe is pointed legs are always straight on all they tumbling as well really dramatic ended that was a great routine she’s
Coming off of that solid beam routine which was so good to see for her you can tell she’s smiling that should score very well three very nice routines for wi already starting on the floor here yep and the choreography I love you see here here’s that first
Tumbling pass she does a round off one and a half twist she’s a little low but hangs on to that which is great here’s her punch front walk out roundoff really nice back flip [Applause] asley moena is up next nice ending rounda full twist score of 8.95 for K
Eile Ashley opens up with a double twist nice job beautiful twisting split jumps front handspring layout front Flip she tumbles right into the camera and gives a little bit of a smile [Applause] There gymnasts need to show a change of Direction when they’re doing their floor routines they can’t do everything you know standing up you have to do some floor work too which everybody has their own unique way of choreographing that round off one and a half twist
That’s a blind Landing you can’t see cuz you’re you’re twisting that extra half to Face Forward didn’t seem to bother her at All nice routine she’s a strong tumbler you’ll get to see that on that open tumbling pass not very often do we see a double twist it’s a little bit it’s a tougher first tumbling pass but you’ll see here and she just rocks it here she goes she goes round off double
Twist I love that she lands almost in that stand standing up position which is beautiful and she does a front handspring layout punch front again the height is really good 9.175 for Ashley moena and Michaela lunal up next well they got that score up in a
Hurry we got to go floor man they’re not messing around that was probably one of the prettiest one and a halfs that I have seen she just floated that Landing it was gorgeous beautiful twisting split jump combinations nice job gets in the corner for the second [Applause] pass handspring front Layout wow I love that back extension into ax body Job I think watching the floor work is my favorite part everybody’s so unique and they have such different ideas of how they should choreograph Those fin little tumbling pass round off full twist nice hype love that great nice routine look at that it’s beautiful she’s very pretty and fun to watch and for Michaela prob extra hug this is her last section made as a senior we take a look at part of her
Routine again starting with that uh first pass this is just pretty and again the lines of that she creates when she’s performing is body toes are pointed legs are straight beautiful done that is a lovely laid out front flip and then lastly this is just a really nice she
Does roundoff full twists sees the floor ends hits that position nice job judges are going to confer here on uh Michaela’s routine and so Hopkins will have to delay the uh warm-ups until the judges get off the floor well that’s it first those floor go score go score and now this that was
A nice routine very good finish for wetta but I don’t know that it’s going to be enough to toppo Hopkins today with the the lead that Hopkins had coming into this rotation they ended up really strong on their last two events and then as as a coach couldn’t ask for more than that
From your athletes you know they had a a little bit of a shaky start on vault and bars and came through like rock stars on the beam and the floor hang on just a moment we saw one score go up where we’re situated it’s hard to to get
A look at all of the events and we have four events going on all at the same Time all right 9.3 nicely done for Michaela Lal to finish up her meat and we’s meat as well we’ll take a break we’ll come back we’ll give you the scores for wetta then Hopkins their final rotation as they look for another section Championship we’ll find out if they can do it right after This And wh set us final rotation right off by Avery Higgins in 8.7 90 8.95 9.175 and M lall finishing it off for the Trojans in a 9.3 and we Isetta score 143.5 that’s good to win a lot of means I don’t think it’s going to be enough
Today to beat Hopkins we’ll find out in five athletes as we finish up the warm-ups for Hopkins and uh chance to finish strong they co-head coaches and the sisters Emily Hogan Megan K and built a great program here at Hopkins over the last several years they Megan on your right Emily on
The left there they have one senior in this floor rotation so they are young Vivian kaying will get it off for Hopkins starts off with the round off one and a half [Applause] Twist Hopkins coaches probably to told their girls do what you do best have fun aside from major mistakes they can end strong on this One you can almost see you know she’s smiling during this enjoying herself having a lot of fun and not that you can’t have mistakes on the floor but certainly not the apparatus where you’re going to lose points like you could certainly can on the bars and the bean yep the worst
Things is if you fall on a tumbling pass that’s a have a point if you step out of bounds that’s you know a tenth but which is one of the reasons they call this the Olympic rotation to finish up on an event where it’s just go out have a good
Time and do what you do Best Vian Kring the eighth grade allrounder with her final event today that’s um pretty crazy that she’s in eighth grade and she’s one of the all-arounders so here she opens up with that one and a half twist nice job just a little bit low on the landing not a
Huge deduction for that here’s her forward tumbling pass punch front dive roll cartwheel and she ends up with a roundoff full twist nice finish position They just seem excited the Hopkins girls Alison Walters will be up [Applause] next 8.65 score for Vivien kaying a oneth off her season High Addison Walters then AA Brom ni Simone Britt and Annabelle Spears hadison TI score 9.05 on the floor this year really nice starts with a double full turn into a full Twisting split [Applause] jump round up back handspring full twist to open up [Applause] beautiful really nice combination full twisting split switch jump to a full twisting walk jump dances her way into the corner same crown that she used on the balance pin good job handspring front cord roll you see the whole Hopkins team behind her having just as much fun on the floor as she
Is [Applause] round up back handspring nice high [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] tech you like well executed routines you like fun routines like this right a little attitude little attitude little sass the judges like it you know she’s out there going gosh darn it I’m good I know it my team’s doing great I’m having a good time both YZ and Hopkins have really
Nice choreographed routines I’m not sure sometimes the girls do it sometimes the coaches do it you may have a dancer on the team back can help but both teams have lovely routines here’s that front handspring front dive roll and ends with round up back handspring tuck we call that in the open position
She doesn’t really grab her legs she has a lot of hype on [Applause] that 8.8 score for Addison Walters and now it’s Ava [Applause] Brom from handspring f Twist Again really nice full twisting switch sleep full twisting wolf Jump Round Up double twist nice [Applause] job She just has great form beautiful to point very lovely to watch again has create such a nice [Applause] line gets into the corner for her final tumbling pass round Out full twist Nice dramatic ending there good [Applause] position Royals are excited for AOS scored as high as a 3 point 36425 as an allrounder a 9.3 on the floor that opening pass is so difficult it’s a front hand hand spring with a full twisting punch front and she does a run of double twist
What makes this so which is really a nice floor teain she has twisting elements on all three of her tumbling passes that should score very well you know and we talked so much about this Hopkins team in in the last two gymnast who are incredible ni M BR and Annabelle
Spear that g r them very very good be the top gymnast on a aut of got that score up quickly and right into ni and’s routine and she’s just got spunk in an attitude super fun to watch started out with a beautiful front [Applause] handspring love the choreograph right here getting into the corner and I’m going to have some fun there a beautiful laid out punch front walk out into two round up back hring [Applause] Layouts here’s her beautiful full twisting switch full twisting [Laughter] straddle she’s got the crowd going now and that’s what you’re looking for look at the facial Expressions too are so good round up back handspring Bay out half Twist Again the full turn if she does a double Turn she’s such a tall gymnast and still to watch incredible to see the height that she’s able to get in her jumps she makes it look so effortless when she is doing jump leaps turns everything it’s you know along with having um her little attitude that she has that was such a
Fun floor routine to watch so you’ll see here she does a handspring full twist layout front handspring front full twist and then we go to the second tumbling pass she does a layout walk out into round of backand spr or round of layout and then ends up with the Ron of back handspring
Layout with a half twist she knew i’ I’ve done good today I’ve hit things and and I should score quite well for that 9275 Annabelle Spears our final competitor tonight Hopkins closes in on another section Championship and her last routine in this gym practice for state but this is her this is it for her always such Bittersweet when it’s your home gym yours Senior see how she starts beautiful look at that one and a half twist punch front no movement done that at all [Applause] she’s getting ready for second tumbling pass Round Up double twist very dramatic music that she has with some really dramatic choreography Which helps you get that energy for that third and final tumbling pass oh wow round off our punch from walk out round off Arabian I think we’re going to have a crowd eruption when this is done that was so good look at that wow what a meat for
Hopkins they those coaches couldn’t have asked anything more from those athletes they’ve had a great meat floor was the icing on the cake love the routines love the choreography Hopkins solid again today the close outs the regular season not the postseason yet stat next week that those girls excited they know what they
They’ve done here today they’ve done enough you know they you don’t need to see the scores you kind of know right as you go on throughout the meet K had coach for Hopkins and got a team ready to go today and they girls were were on probably
Their to State coming up here and why is that a you know they gosh had a little bit of a rocky start on the Vault and and maybe didn’t get the scores that they wanted to but they finished so strong on the beam and on the floor the coaches should
Be proud of the girls as well it’s always sad cuz someone’s got to lose and someone’s got to win in and both teams are so good it’s too bad that only one team gets to go from the section Annabelle spear finishes with a 9.4 on the floor
Wow we will tally the final scores a lot of wards to Awards to come to come let’s still at the part of Annabelle’s uh routine again though before we take a break she opens up here with a one and a half twist to a punch front she doesn’t
Even step out of that it’s just so rock solid and here she’s going to do a roundoff double twist the only deduction there would be a little bit on that Landing but punch front walk out and this is called an Arabian you’re doing a half twist into a punch
Front and again you can just tell oh little bit of Tears she did so good what a way to end your career here and you know your heart just hurts for wi at a two um but Hopkins four events four Stellar events five up each one great job for
Them we’ll take a time out we’ll come back the awards to come to find out who’s going to state in each event which team is going on the state wrap things up here from Hopkins High School after This N We saw Hopkins wrap things up on the floor exercise a moment ago and a great have 3 9.2 or above for the Royals on the floor they win the floor and they win the meat Deb as we kind of expected after that first rotation they just had
That a comfortable lead and they never gave it up at won by almost two full points to secure their section second section Championship John Jacobson Debbie Ranson really good me for we Isetta even better for Hopkins it was a fun me to watch and you said wetta or
Excuse me Hopkins took the lead early on and they never gave it up they were solid they had the energy they had um their strength behind them and and just the coaches just really really you could tell they were having a blast during this whole meet too and for why that at
Um great end to the meet they struggled a little bit on those first two events and and yet they came back solid on that balance beam and that’s hard to do so snaps and kudos to wetta for that and congratulations to Carly Holden a moment ago named section 6aa head coach of the
Year congratulations for on a good season again for wi probably didn’t in the way that they were wanting for but it speaks wonders for their program um and her as a coach the girls love her and they love performing and working hard for her as well Hopkins they super excited we don’t
See the enthusiasm enthusiasm right now but um they won the meet we’re waiting for the award ceremony they are on their way to State for the second year in a row look at all of the team scores now of course we were focusing on wetta and Hopkins were the the top two teams
Edina came in third place in today’s meet 137.5 for the Hornets followed by Minneapolis Southwest St Louis Park wasburn Edison Henry North that’s a program that’s only in its fifth year I talked to their head coach before the Mee and so still kind of an emerging program and Roosevelt South just had a
Couple of athletes competing today so that’s the reason for their score the way it is and Hopkins again and we Isetta battling it out for the team championship and hopk came in to the state or came in to this week ranked fifth in the state and they and they top
145 today I don’t know that it’s going to be enough to win state next week the team competition Lakeville South is really good oana is good they finished six last year I think probably a goal would be top four if we can finish top four as a team that’d be great you get
