North Forsyth, North Oconee win state gymnastics meet

North Forsyth’s Logan Otteson was third, and Carsyn Kudlas sixth in the all-around.

Ansley Ferguson had top-eight finishes in the uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise to boost the team’s scoring.

North Oconee was dominant in the Class 4A-A division with Howells leading the way. She won the vault and the bars, as she did as a freshman, and won the floor exercise for the first time. Her all-around score was a meet-best 39.225. Allatoona’s Alyssa Strain won the balance beam, preventing a Howells sweep.

Also impressive for the meet were gymnasts from Forsyth County as a whole. Those from North Forsyth, South Forsyth, Forsyth Central and Denmark made up 20 of Class 6A-5A’s 40 top-eight finishers in the four events plus the all-around. In the 4A-A division, East Forsyth senior Katlynne Tatum was the runner-up to Howells.
