Newman Catholic Gymnast Competes in La Crosse

By Bailey Dillon

Bailey Dillon, a gymnast from Newman Catholic is part of the Woodson YMCA gymnastics program in Wausau.  On October 30^th in La Crosse, WI, she had her first meet of the season.

Dillon earned a 5.7 out of a 10.0 for two falls and a pause on bars and a 7.1 for four falls on beam.  She did not earn any score on floor because she rolled her ankle during her floor routine and did not have the physical ability to finish the event.  Due to her injury she had to skip the tongue vault. 

Dillon said she was “proud that I was positive, and proud to see my sisters have fun out there, and I am upset that my body gave up on me, but that’s what happens when you get older.” 

Bailey Dillon’s next gymnastics meet will be the weekend of November 13 and 14 in Appleton, WI, at the Appleton YMCA.  We wish good luck to the Whirler’s Gymnast at the Woodson YMCA.
