PEABODY — On Sunday, the Lynnfield-Danvers High co-op gymnastics team faced Beverly and Peabody in a tri-meet at Yellow Jackets in Peabody.
The Falcons swept both schools with a winning score of 143.45. Beverly scored 128.4 while Peabody had 90.
With the wins, the Falcons improved to 4-1 overall.
Kaylee Wescott led the way with an all-around score of 39.1. She came in first place in all four events. She had a 9.75 in the vault, a 9.8 on the bars, a 9.7 on the balance beam and a 9.85 on the floor exercise.
“Kaylee had a standout performance Sunday,” said Falcons head coach Jen Habeeb. “She scored pretty close to perfect on every event. Getting a 39 is incredibly difficult, it’s not often you see this happen and it’s a huge accomplishment. We’ve really been able to count on Kaylee as the anchor for our team. It’s crazy to think she is only a freshman.”
Camryn Donovan, a junior from Lynnfield, was second in the all-around with a 37.15. She was second in all four events with a 9.2 in the vault, a 9.7 on the bars, an 8.75 on the beam and a 9.5 on the floor.
Her freshman sister, Callie, came in third on the floor with a 9.3.
On Dr. Marin Luther King Jr. Day, also at Yellow Jackets, the Falcons had a split against Masconomet and Hamilton-Wenham. Lynnfield-Danvers had a 145.9. Masco, the four time-defending state champs, had a 149.35, while Hamilton-Wenham had a 136.9.
Wescott was second in the all-around with a 38.5. She tied for first on the bars (9.8), She was also second on the floor (9.45). Wescott tied Camryn Donovan for second on the beam.
In the vault, Wescott also came in second with a 9.65.
The next meet for the Falcons will be back at Yellow Jackets on Jan. 28 as they host Marblehead with that meet starting at 7 p.m.
