Times -Advocate, April 6, 1983 South Huron gy South Huron's gymnastics team was again dominant at Ifuron•Perth last Thursday in Listowel. The team's hard work and determination paid of[ with the overall team title, three of the four divisional team championships and two individual championships. Coach Gayle Ecker, who took the place of Carey Eddy who was on maternity leave, Enna Two individuals win sts win H.P team championship Was very proud of her twenty gymnasts. "They all did very well, but I had no idea of the difference in total score". Ecker and the Exeter gym- nasts thought the race for best overall team would be close but South Huron with 343.92 points overwhelmed the nearest competitor from the 20 member Norwell team by over 130 points. The Huron -Perth 'gym- nastics championship has on- ly been out of South Huron's hands once in the past twen- ty years. This success should continue with strong junior teams being developed by the Saturday gymnastics pro- gram, even though other schools are becoming in- creasingly stronger and more competitive. The increased calibre of competition was evident on Thursday with many gymnasts executing very difficult moves. South Huron's junior team captured the team title while Lee O'Rourke in her promis- ing debut was the junior overall champ with Rose Morrissey in fourth overall. Lee didn't win on any ap- paratus but her scores were very high. Ecker believes that this was Lee's preparatory season and that she will daz- zle next year. Lee's routine on the uneven bars was full of difficult moves for a score of 8.45 and .second place. Fifth place was earned by Marlene Ver- maeten. Both Lee and Rosemary Morrissey had nerve problems on the beans but their advanced difficulty gave them third and fifth, respectively. She shone on the floor but was still only granted second place. A near -flawless floor routine was Jodi McBride's ticket to WOSSA and third place. Rose finished fifth for her floor. Lee O'Rourke's handspring vault earned her second place. Other junior gymnasts, Kelly Johns and Tracey Milloche paired well and gained the experience to place them higher next year. South Huron easily won the intermediate team title with Leigh Bernard and Lisa Run- dle respectively second and third overall. Lisa, who mov- ed down to the intermediate level because she broke her toe at last year's Huron -Perth came back with no fear this year. Leigh's only win came with her flowing bars routine. Se - cold place deservedly went to Sue Birmingham who also skates during the winter. Lisa Rundle placed fourth on the bars and executed a steady, fearless beam routine to cap- ture second followed by Leigh Bernard in third and Montaha Osman came fourth on the beam. A mark of 8.5 on Leigh's snazzy floor routine gave her second place. South Huron placed well on floor with Lisa Rundle, Montaha Osman and Sue Boyle receiving third. fourth and fifth respectively. Leigh's somewhat unpractic- ed vault still earned third while Susan Birmingham placed fifth on the vault. - The elite division was com-' pletely dominated by SH with only one other competitor. Despite a sub -normal' day, Catherine Patterson earned the individual championship followed closely by teammate Sharr Jesney. Sarah McClure. in her last Ilur•on- Perth gymnastics competi- tion placed fourth overall. Catherine's strength and timing made her bars routine flow to an 8.63 and first place. Starr Jesney whose recent trip to Florida didn't mar her performance was second with JUNIOR CHAMP -- Lee O'Rourke of SHDHS won the junior championship in the recent Huron -Perth gym- nastic final.

All the elites had trouble with their beam mount. Thal was 'Pits' Patterson's only fall, which hurt the rest of her routine, yet her control returned for first position. Se- cond place was earned by Stasi Jesney and Sarah McClure placed fourth. Carla Solomon's concentrated effort on the beam earned her fifth place. Starr Jesney's incredible tumbling gave her 8.5 and a surprise victory on the floor. Starr said "I can't believe I beat Pits!" Catherine failed to laud her Arabian which has given her trouble all season. Pits was second with 8.2. Sarah McClure's well - executed and danced routine earned fourth place.• South Huron's vaulting has seldom been strong as was evident throughout the day. Exeter elites placing second, third, fourth and fifth were respectively Starr Jesney, Catherine Patterson, Sarah McClure and Carla Solomon. After qualifying on the bars Jody Hay injured her knee while practicing her beam routine. She was unable to compete on the beam or the floor and it is doubtful that she will be able to do her bars al WOSSA. The senior division was the weakest for South Huron. Despite an injured lower leg. Jackie Cottrell decided to risk further injury and compete to qualify for WOSSA. Jackie braved the pain to qualify on all apparati except for vault which she dropped. Sandra McCurdy placed third individually overall. helped by a flawlessly ex- ecuted 8.4 first place on the uneven bars. Jackie placed fourth on bars and floor but should be able to do better at WOSSA, if she is able to com- pete. Sam'ra finished third on the floor and fifth on the v9ult. Darlene McBride's steady beam routine gave her fourth spot while Jackie managed sixth. Gail Willard had a disap- pointing day but still helped her team to the championship. Huron -Perth was allowed to increase its number of WOSSA qualifiers to the top six •finishers on each ap- paratus because of the decline in competing schools. South Huron qualified 17 girls so should have the largest representation at Parkside Collegiate in St. Thomas this Saturday. WOSSA competi- tion begins at 9 a.m. and should be over at 5 p.m. Coach .Ecker is confident that the team will be very competitive and hopes that they will be able to keep the WOSSA championship which they won for the first time. last year. The top two finishers at WOSSA qualify for OFSSA. held April 22 and 23 in Toron- to. Catherine Patterson has the skill and determination to again be an all -Ontario finalist. This could be Starr Jesney's year after being a substitute for the past three. Ecker believes Lee O'Rourke will also qualify for OFSSA. Ecker plans to work the team very hard this week in preparation for Saturday's competition. To accustom the girls to pressure and to give everybody a chance to see good, competitive gymnastics all the girls will put on their routine tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in the high school's old gyrnnasiuln. Ad- mission will be charged to help the gymnasts pay for their new balance beam. e're glad you asked! With Bob Fletcher and Iry Armstrong of (J WHAT CHORES MUST BE DONE FOLLOWING A FUNERAL?
