The Winona State Gymnastics team flipped their way to their highest score of the season in their home opener against University of Wisconsin-Stout.

In a meet where they racked up a whopping 181 points, they still managed to fall short as UW-Stout posted a score of 187.55.

Highest score of the night went to senior Kelly Johnston, who scored her season-best of 9.65 on the balance beam and in doing so earned second place.

Others having a solid night included juniors Shelsea Zehr and Anna Hiller, both of whom placed third in their respective competitions: Zehr on the vault with a score of 9.425 and Hiller on the uneven parallel bars with a score of 9.025.

With the loss Friday, the Warriors record falls to 1-2, with their lone win coming against the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

The Warriors will look to tumble in the right direction next Thursday as they are back in action against UW-Oshkosh in McCown Gymnasium with the first event at 6:30 p.m.
