The event was held at World Class Gymnastics in Latham. This year, due to COVID restrictions, Section 2 gymnasts will compete in two “bubbles”at World Class Gymnastics and Wilton YMCA and compete at separate times to keep the athletes safe. The Dutch finished second with 153.85 on Sunday while Saratoga won and Shaker finished third; Bethlehem wasn’t able to participate on Sunday.
