January 25, 2015

SEEKONK — A handful of unanticipated injuries may have kept Barnstable High’s score low in an off-Cape gymnastics tri-meet yesterday, but the Red Raiders still came home with a pair of wins to run their record to 12-0.

The Falmouth/Mashpee gymnastics team also picked up a win over Case/Seekonk, but additionally notches a loss due to Barnstable’s top score. One Falmouth gymnast also sustained an injury during the vault competition.

Barnstable scored a 141.7 while Falmouth/Mashpee scored 140.55 and host Case/Seekonk netted a 133.3.

Tali Twomey stepped in to compete in the All-Around when a handful of Barnstable’s taller gymnasts refused to participate in the uneven bars routine due to a low ceiling at the competition site and she shined brilliantly, taking first place. All totaled, Twomey notched four first place finishes and one second place finish. Here’s how all the gymnasts fared:
