Docksiders Mason Dixon Team Finishes

First Season with Titles

 

          The Docksiders Gymnastics Mason Dixon Team finished off their first season in impressive fashion.  The team traveled to Lexington Park, MD to compete in the League Championships and walked away with numerous titles.  The winners included 2 All-Around champions and 6 event champions.  Their performance helped Docksiders place 2^nd in the team competition among the 13 competing clubs in the B division.

 

Haley Wilson entered the meet with modest goals.  The 7^th grader at Severna Park Middle was aiming to take home a trophy, meaning she would need to finish in the top 3 in the All-Around.  However, Haley nailed all 4 of her routines and was crowned as B division All-Around League Champion for 2008.  Included in her performance was a 1^st place finish on beam and 2^nd place finishes on Bars and Floor.  In the B division Severna Park High Junior Sarah Orlich won the championship on vault with a 9.5.  She also placed 3^rd on beam and finished in 3^rd place in the All-Around.  Jessi Kuhlman finished off her season in style by taking 2^nd on bars, 3^rd on beam, and 4^th on vault leading to a 3^rd place finish.  Sarah Watts also finished with her best meet of the season, which resulted in a 2^nd place finish on vault.

 

In the C division Rebecca Jones finished off an impressive season by dominating the championship meet with a 37.9 All Around score to win the League Championships by over a point.  Her fantastic performance included a 9.7 to win on floor, a 9.55 for the vault title, and another 9.55 to place 2^nd on beam.  Rebecca also won the title on bars.  Also in the C division, Meade sophomore Kristina Clevinger took 2^nd on vault with a 9.4 and 4^th on floor with a 9.45 to lead to a 4^th place All-Around finish.  Northeast High’s Hillary Timms took 2^nd on bars en route to a 5^th place All-Around finish.

 

Sarah Dyckman, who competed as a freshman for Severna Park High this season, won the D division title on floor with a score of 9.65.  She also placed 2^nd on bars and beam and 3^rd on vault to lead to a 2^nd place All-Around finish with a total score of 36.3.

 

In the A division Jamie Auld led the way for Docksiders with a 3^rd place All-Around finish which that also included event placements of 3^rd on vault and floor.

 

Docksiders looks for a bigger and better season next year for this new program.  Mason Dixon has really taken off at the gym and the girls are excited to build on the success of this year.  The program provides a competitive avenue for those very talented gymnasts who do not want the intensity of the USAG program.  Their success this year has paved the way for a fabulous future!!
