The Menlo Park girls gymnastics team competed at
the Mardi Gras Invitational on Feb. 18.
The Junior Olympic meet was hosted by the North Bay Athletic Gymnastics Association. Sophia
Simon, a level 8 gymnast, placed 4th on vault, 3rd on beam and 2nd
all-around. This was a major event for
Sophia as she was out for a few weeks due to a broken finger. Sophia’s outstanding performance qualified
for the Level 8 State Championship meet which will take place in March. If she qualifies with an all-around score of
34 she will compete at the Regional Championships in April. Sophia has been a gymnast with Menlo Park Gymnastics since
she was two years old.
