Gymnastics: Stone Bridge Makes States with Regional Runner-up Finish; Severin and Grywatch Lead Bulldogs with Strong All-Around Performances

 Stone Bridge Gymnastics: Next Stop States! 

(Feb. 11, 2011) - After coming tantalizingly close the past two years to making the VHSL AAA state gymnastics tournament -- missing each time by less than a point -- Stone Bridge High School vaulted to the big show for the first time in school history with a runner-up finish Thursday night at the Northern Region meet.

The Bulldogs scored a season-best 143.375 to secure the second and final spot to States behind regional champion Chantilly (144.575).

Senior Tori Severin, scoring her best All-Around score of the year by almost two full points, led the Bulldogs and qualified for States in the individual All-Around with a third place finish of 37.050.

"It was very emotional and exciting to place second as a team, especialy because it is my senior year," said Severin. "I am so proud of the whole team! We worked so hard for it, and it paid off."

Bulldog sophomore Tricia Grywatch, like Severin, turning in her best All-Around performance of the year, scored 36.150 for a sixth place overall finish.

Severin was second on the beam at 9.725 and sixth on the bars at 9.075. Grywatch tied for seventh on the Vault at 9.200 and tied for eighth on the floor at 9.275.

It was on the floor where the Bulldogs secured their first ever team trip to States as Shelby Keye took fourth with a 9.400 and Amy Fissmer was fifth at 9.350 to give Stone Bridge three athletes on the awards podium for the event. Stone Bridge out-scored third place Washington-Lee by a full 2.525 on the floor, more than enough to leave the Generals 1.200 behind Stone Bridge in the final standings.
