SM Northwest gymnasts lose state title amid controversy

Elayna Briggs of Olathe Northwest tied for sixth in the balance beam on Saturday. She took fourth in all-around.

Lawrence Free State walked away with the state championship team trophy and Newton, which hosted the 2009 Kansas Girls State Gymnastics Championship, took home the individual state championship medals last Saturday.

Officially, the two teams tied for first place and were named co-champions. An identical team trophy for the Railroaders and medals for the Firebirds are on order.

But Shawnee Mission Northwest’s gymnasts feel like all those items should have gone home with them.
