Add another state championship to the Lake Braddock Bruins’ long list of titles in girls gymnastics.
The Bruins recently won their 13th Virginia High School League (VHSL) state crown — a statewide record and their fourth in a row — with a 147.875 point total in the Class 6 meet at their home gymnasium in Burke last Friday (Feb. 28).
The Chantilly Chargers narrowly won the team title and had the individual all-around winner at the girls 6D North Region gymnastics championship this week.
The Chargers won their first team regional crown since 2011 with a 141.450 score during the Monday (Feb. 10) meet at Washington-Liberty High School in Arlington.
A young Oakton Cougars squad continued an established tradition by winning another Concorde District girls gymnastics championship.
Oakton High won a fifth straight title, by fractions, over the Chantilly Chargers, finishing first with a 139.625 team score. Chantilly had 139.175. The Madison Warhawks were third at 137.025.
With a talented lineup, it appeared less a matter of “if” the McLean Highlanders would win the Liberty District girls gymnastics championship.
It was more likely a question of “by how much?”
