Martin Co. Area vaults by Waseca gymnasts
WASECA — Martin County Area gymnast Sabrina Segar nearly made a clean sweep of the four individual events en route to capturing the all-around crown on Thursday night.
Segar earned top honors in the all-around competition with a point total of 34.825, while teammate Anna Bachenberg claimed third-place accolades at 31.425 points to power the Magic to their third consecutive dual-meet victory, a 128.7-125.075 Big South Conference decision over the Waseca Bluejays in Waseca.
Segar rotated her Tsukahara vault to a winning score of 8.975, planted her standing backtuck on the balance beam to highlight her first-place score of 9.1 and shared the No. 1 spot on the uneven parallel bars with MCA teammate Ellie Schultze and Waseca’s Hannah Petry by generating 7.65 points apiece.
Segar just barely missed winning the floor exercise, netting a second-place total of 9.1 on the judges’ scorecards to finish behind Petry’s first-place score of 9.125. Petry pocketed runner-up all-around honors to Segar with a team-best 33.575, while teammate Jordan Hofmeister placed fourth overall with a 30.25.
Bachenberg placed third on the floor with an 8.9 for the Magic, while teammate Anna Utermarck generated a third-place score of 8.5 on the vault.
Emma Schultze, Gwen Kallemeyn and Ellie Hernes each contributed fourth-place showings to pack offensive punch to MCA’s winning ways. Emma Schultze generated an 8.225 on the vault, Kallemeyn earned a 7.475 on the uneven bars, while Hernes contributed a key total of 7.65 on the balance beam.
Martin County Area (3-0) travels to Windom Area next Thursday for another Big South Conference dual meet.
