WILLMAR -- The Willmar Cardinals scored 138.475 in their home gym to stop the Sauk Rapids Storm, who scored 133.95, in a Central Lakes Conference gymnastics match on Thursday at Kennedy School.

Willmar's Abbey Weiler and Kaitlyn Lindblad finished 1-2 in all-around. Ashley Delp was third.

Willmar coach Larry Selchow said the highlight of the meet was Delp successfully completing a Tsukahara for the first time on vault. It helped her take second with a 9.15, just back of Lindblad's 9.175.

"Kara Hallberg had a fantastic finish to her floor routine," said Selchow. "She finished with a full twisting somersault in a layout position. It was a beautiful routine."
