Craig gymnasts fall in league opener

By GAZETTE STAFF Friday, Dec. 18, 2009

Becky Schneider won the balance beam event, but it wasn't enough to keep Janesville Craig from falling at Middleton, 132.4-129.2, in a Big Eight Conference gymnastics opening meet Thursday night.

Schneider scored an 8.75 to finish first in the balance beam. She added second-place finishes in the bars (8.975) and floor exercise (8.7) and came in second in the all-around (35.125).

"Overall, the girls did a nice job," Craig coach Jean Welch said. "Middleton is always tough to beat up there, and we found some things we can work on."
