“We had an OK meet for the first one,” NLS head coach Cindy Jacobson said. “We did some good things, but we also have a lot of fine-tuning to do to a lot of routines.”

NLS senior Maddy Iverson was out with an injury and ninth-grader Ciera Anderson got hurt on the vault, forcing her to sit out the rest of the meet for the Wildcats.
