The pantHER gymnasts kicked off February by heading to Haslett for an invitational with 12 other teams. With just 9 of the 19 pantHER gymnasts competing, their goal was to compete some new skills and maybe even obtain some regional qualifying scores. Knowing there were several 2024 all state teams and gymnasts under the same roof, they didn’t compete to win, but they may have given some teams a sneak peek into what Parma Western gymnasts are capable of. They had representation in the top 10 of every event and even snagged some PRs as well!
