KMT beats school record; falls to Byron

A number of records were broken at Kasson-Mantorville last week.

The Byron gymnastics team defeated Kasson-Mantorville/Triton and PIZM last week, in a meet at K-M last week.

Byron finished with a season team best of 141.7.

In the all-around Byron swept with Olivia O’Brien winning the event with a score of 35.975, Sydney Portner finished second with a score of 35.875, and Norah Brown finished third with a score of 35.6.

Byron also set a near team vault record with a score of 36.95 beating the old record of 36.7.

K-M also had a season high and beat another school record with a score of 136.55.
