ONW’s Briggs to wrap up gymnastics career at state

Olathe Northwest’s Elayna Briggs captured fourth place in the all-around competition at last year’s Kansas state gymnastics meet.

All signs pointed to a special senior season for Elayna Briggs, who finished fourth in the all-around at the Kansas state gymnastics meet last fall behind a trio of seniors.

The state runner-up in the vault and a medalist on the balance beam as well, the Olathe Northwest senior entered the season as one of the favorites to vie for the all-around crown.

But rather than enjoy a victory lap of a season, Briggs has endured mostly trials and tribulations. She won the all-around title at the Shawnee Mission North Invitational in mid-September, but really that’s when the trouble started.
