SPSL 3A/4A SUB-DISTRICT GYMNASTICS

• WHAT: Sub-district gymnastics meet.

• WHEN: Saturday. First session for 4A begins at 9 a.m. with the second starting at 1 p.m. The 3A competition begins at 5 p.m.

• WHERE: Kentwood High School.

• ADMISSION: Students with ASB, $4; Adults and students without ASB, $7; Elementary school students $2; Senior citizens $2.

• AT STAKE: The SPSL 3A and 4A league team and individual titles, as well as berths into the West Central District 3A and 4A meet, slated for next Saturday at Auburn Mountainview High School.

• FAVORITES: Kentlake and Puyallup in the 4A, Auburn Mountainview in the 3A.

• NOTABLE: Look for a battle in the all-around between Kentlake’s Kayla Shira, who has been consistently posting 37.0-plus scores all season, Auburn Riverside’s Rebecca Turnbow who posted a 37.10 in the Raven’s final meet of the season. Throw in Puyallup’s Chelsey Hasky who posted a 37.5 in the Puyallup all-city meet and the race for the all-around should be a humdinger… In the 3A competition, Auburn Mountainview’s Ashley Perkovich and Natalie Hostetter could post a 1-2 all-around finish… Kent-Meridian’s Nora Keith should contend in the all-around and will be strong in the vault, where she finished seventh at state last year.
