The Kentlake High School gymnasts took home the All-City Championship for the sixth year in a row.

Behind the usual standout performances by Katie Steckler, Lizzy Reichlinger and Melissa Alberts, the Falcons soared to a season high 161.8 points en route to putting away Kentridge, Kentwood and Kent-Meridian in a four-team meet at Kentwood High Jan. 28.

For the all-around Steckler took first place, Reichlinger got second, Alberts took sixth and Brenna Bickel came in seventh place.

“We have a great group of girls this year,” said Coach Marla Boyd, after their last meet.

The girls went over their goal of a 160 team score by the end of the regular season to qualify into the district competition as a team.

“All these girls work hard and have great attitudes,” Boyd said.”They are continuously working on improving their level of difficulty on all events.”

Kentwood took second place with a score of 144, Kent-Meridian came in third with a scored of 140 and Kentridge gymnasts received an overall score of 136.

“The meet was a great experience for our team, we came together and did a great job,” said Ann Diaz, Kentwood coca. “Placing second was a surprise, but a good one. We had some minor injuries that kept us from doing our best, but they did great. I am very proud of the girls on the Kentwood team; they are a great bunch of girls.”
