By Pat Ruff The Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN STEWARTVILLE — At first glance, Austin bumping its team score this much in its biggest meet of the year is a head scratcher. But talk to Packers gymnastics coach Mark Raymond and that scratching goes away. Raymond had a specific strategy for this Section One, Class A meet on Saturday afternoon. It leaned heavily on selflessness from his gymnasts. Get that, and he figured his team could accomplish something big. Raymond got everything he wished for. His Packers executed his team-first strategy to perfection and with it are headed to their first state gymnastics meet in school history. The Packers churned out a winning score of 143.400. That dwarfed their previous high this year of 139.55 and was easily better than second-place East Ridge (141.600). Four-time defending champion Pine Island finished third with a 140.100. Austin was section runner-up last year. "We were trying to do well as a team, more than as individuals," Raymond said. "That took some sacrifices by our gymnasts. I had some of them concentrating on just one or two events, rather doing (all four). The other thing I had them do was try to do a routine that they knew they could do well, instead of trying something that could get them a great score if they did it well, but a poor one if they didn't execute it. The way we did it will get you a bunch of 8.95 kind of (individual event) scores." Those kind of scores can win you a section meet. They did Saturday, creating as much excitement within the Packers program as its ever had. "Making it to state as a team is huge," said Austin eighth-grader Sela Fadness, who advanced as an individual last year. "Our team is very close and we can rely on each other for anything. We know that making it to state as a team is another great step for us. We'll go and cheer as hard as we can for each other." Besides getting a wonderful team score, the Packers also did have their share of individual success. Senior Sabrina Snater was the section champion on the balance beam (9.475), third in floor exercise (9.575) and third in all-around (36.700). Fadness was second on the uneven parallel bars (9.075), second on the beam (9.100), second on the floor (9.600), third on the vault (9.275) and second in all-around (37.050). Individually, the top four placers in each event move on to state, which is Feb. 26-27 at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion Pine Island coach Jeff Schroeder had serious hopes of making it five state trips to state by his program. But he determined that the Panthers not making it this time had a lot more to do with what Austin was able to do, than his team's performance. "You can't play defense in gymnastics," he said. "Our kids gave it their best shot. We didn't lose this meet, we just didn't win it. It was Austin's day. They have come a long ways." Pine Island will be represented at state. Junior Brittany Schmidt is the lone Panther going, after qualifying in three events. She was third on the bars (9.025), third on the beam (9.050) and fourth in all-around (36.400). Schmidt wishes more Panthers would be joining her. Still, she's thrilled to be going. "The best part of today was I landed all my routines," Schmidt said. "I wish we were going to state as a team, but we just went up against some really good teams." • Byron/Lourdes is sending a pair of gymnasts to state. Megan Lawson made it by finishing second on the vault (9.350) and Nikki Tutewohl made it with a fourth-place finish on the floor (9.550). Lawson had a bit of a scare going into the meet, having injured her hamstring just days before.
