Docksiders Level 10’s Win Sweet Heart
2nd Year in a Row
The Docksiders Level 10 Team took home a Sweet Victory by winning the Sweet Heart Invitational for the 2nd year in a row. The Sweet Heart competition was held in Raleigh, North Carolina over Presidents Day Weekend. Winning the all around title with a career high score of 37.65 was Brianna Guy, who is competing as a level 10 gymnast at just 13 years old. The Level 8 and 9 teams also competed in the meet, with the Level 9 Team placing 3rd in the team competition in their division.

place on 3 of 4 events. She won Vault with a score of 9.675, Uneven Bars with a
score of 9.25, and Floor Exercise with a score of 9.575. A fall on Balance Beam
bumped
her to 3rd place on that event with a 9.125 but was still good
enough to secure the all around win. Alexis Gross took the title of Balance
Beam Champion with a 9.45, making Docksiders Gymnasts Champions of all the
individual events. Docksiders team member Krystal Welsh came in 2nd
place in the All-Around with a score of 37.125, and also earned a 2nd

placed 3rd on Floor Exercise with a 9.35, performing her rocking

for Docksiders with a 9.225 and Melanie Brother took a 3rd place
