Next up it’s Central Tim Engman and he brings the fire on his floor exercise attempt. He the back flip tuck to finish the past is a nice touch – as are his finishing moves. That earns him an 8.4 Score.

To the Pommel Horse featuring Oak Lawn’s lone gymnast Harrison Brandt and he is in a groove. Swinging his way to the best score on the Pommel horse with an 8.1.

Central’s turn on the rings with Tim Froelich as he slowly brings those legs up, pauses for a few seconds and then finishes it up from there landing with the best score for the Hawks 7.2.
To the Parallel Bars and here is Froelich again and look at the Redhawk show off the core strength. Great balance keeping his feet up and then touchdown. Scoring the best with an 8.3.
North’s Avi Sharon can definitely maintain the handstand and then back flip later he hits the ground. Scoring an 8.1 and finishes as your all around winner.
Let’s go the Vault with North’s Joe Sciabica is off and running and oh m.. how about a half twist, one and one half back flip. Arms up for good reasons as Sciabica lands the best score with a 8.5
