Raiders gymnasts defeated Chanhassen/Chaska 142.90 to 129.65

Northfield won all of the events:

Abby Stets won the Vault with 9.4
Bailey DuPay took the Bars with 9.5
Bailey DuPay took the Beam with 9.475
Abby Stets won the Floor with 9.425
Bailey DuPay won All-Around with 37.575

The Northfield girls gymnastics team has been state champions in the largest school division 2 of the past 3 yrs.  The team has state tournament experience but is young.  Bailey DuPay was rated as one of the top 10 gymnasts in the state by a Star Tribune article on Dec 6th.  Since she placed 3rd in the All-Around last year, and her competitors that edged her out are now graduated, she is the heir-apparent to be the best gymnast in the state.  The team has an ongoing dual meet winning streak over 4 seasons.  I believe this is 34.  Please correct me in a comment if this is not correct.  This is definitely a team to watch closely for Northfield Raiders fans.
