Cartersville gymnastics ends season at GHSA State Preliminaries

The Cartersville gymnastics team came away from the GHSA State Preliminary Meet Friday at Buford with a 14th place finish.

While neither Canes competitor qualified for the Class AA-AAAAA State Championship meet on Saturday, freshman Karley Garrison did claim 14th place in the All-Around preliminaries including a 12th place in the floor exercise and 15th place on bars.

Garrison scored 33.475 in the All-Around, 8.925 in floor, and 8.375 in bars.

The other Cartersville competitor was sophomore Annaston Wilson who qualified for the State Preliminaries in floor exercise. Wilson scored 8.6 in last Friday’s competition.

“The competition was steep and our ladies held strong,” said Cartersville head coach Kimberly Mosteller. “I am proud of all the work the girls have done this year and looking forward to next season to grow this program. We have some incredible talent here in Cartersville and I am honored to lead them.”
