Another Section 2 Crown for SSHS Gymnasts
SARATOGA SPRINGS – So you want to guarantee your picture on our back page? It’s really no secret- here’s all you need to do to assure your spot:
- Win an unprecedented 13th consecutive title in your sport.
- It doesn’t hurt to win every dual meet – home and away – against your opponents during that time.
- It’s not mandatory, but it certainly helps to do all of the above with grace, precision and style.
Do all that, and that back page is yours…I promise. All of which is to say congratulations to the Saratoga Springs High Gymnasts, who are now well into their second decade of Section 2 dominance!
