January summary

January 2023 was a busy month! The lady Wolves hosted the Kilbourne Invitational, a home meet with Hilliard Davidson, Lancaster, & Scioto, traveled to the Warhawk Invitational and Olentangy Liberty, then hosted TriValley, Westerville Central, and Grove City.

At our invitational we didn’t have any top 10 placers but season high scores were posted from Aubrey, Izzie, and Delainey in the All-Around. Aubrey and Izzie added season high floor scores, 8.5 and 8.7 respectively, helping the team hit a season high floor score. Brooke had her season high vault score (8.3) as well.

At our home meet with Hilliard Aubrey, Angelica, and Hannah hit season high scores on beam. Izzie was the bar champ that night with 8.25, and Delainey was runner up on Beam (8.55) and Brooke was runner uup on floor (8.575).

The Warhawk Invitational provided the opportunity for everyone to compete. Izzie tied her season high on vault (8.2), and placed 2nd on bars (8.0) and 4th on beam (8.4).

O.Liberty was a tough meet, and a win over Liberty would put the Wolves in 1st in the OCC. However, the Wolves fell to the Patriots and are sitting in 2nd in the OCC Buckeye division. Season high scores were turned in on Vault by Emma, Melanie, and Naomi; on bars by Emma and Delainey; on beam by Emma and Naomi; and on floor by Naomi. Emma and Naomi both hit their season high all around scores as Kilbourne scored 128.5 to Liberty’s 133.45.

The Wolves picked up three wins in the home Tri Valley meet. Season highs were posted on bars by Brooke (8.7), Ava, Naomi, and Izzie and the team hit their season high on that event. Season highs on beam by Caroline and Ximena rounded out an excellent beam day for the Wolves. Floor was exciting as Delainey won floor with an 8.85 (season high), and other season highs were hit by Emma, Alyssa,Sam, Caroline, and Addi. Delainey had her highest all around score, helping the team reach their season high score of 129.0

Beauty & the Beast
