Captains, Junior Diana Catinas and Senior Juliet Fisher will be the cornerstones of this years Varsity Gymnastics team at Shorewood High School. Head Coach Susan Riley returns for her 24th season with 9th year Assistant Coach Julie Bugai. Joining the coaching staff this year is 2012 Shorewood graduate, Kyla Riley.

“Once again we are in a rebuilding phase of our team. We lost two strong All Around gymnasts to graduation and one moved out of state” said Head Coach Susan Riley. “However, this opened up spots for those who have been working hard to gain skills and confidence. These gymnasts will be setting a great example of hard work and dedication for this year’s team.”

Catinas, Fisher, Senior Stephanie Spee and Junior Morgan Ramsden are the top all-around returners from last season. Catinas and Fisher were named to the Wesco All League First Team last year and Ramsden was named to the 2nd team Wesco All League Team. Spee was out most of last year due to injury. 

“These four gymnasts are no doubt our four strongest on each event, it will be exciting to see where the lead us.” Coach Riley said.

Rounding out this year team are: Freshman: Megan Catey, Marin Counter, Stephanie Dinca, Celia Dube, Kathrina Marapao, Annika Nye, Chandler Smith and Hadley Stock. Sophomores: Kyla Bockelie and Avery Davis Juniors: Elly Anderson, Olivia Berry, Karina Moon and Sophie Sandos. Senior: Paige Stanger. This is the largest Freshman class we have had in many years.

Shorewood’s first meet will be help at Bainbridge High School on Friday December 13, 6:00pm.
