The one-two scoring punch of Amanda Aning and Callen Bosshart led the Luverne-Hills-Beaver Creek gymnastics team to a regular-season-ending victory over Martin County West in Luverne Friday.
Aning, a senior, won the all-around and beam championships during the duel. Bosshart, who won the vault competition, placed in all four individual events for an L-H-BC team that established a new program scoring record during a 127.35-125.05 win over the Mavericks.
L-H-BC's point total of 127.35 eclipsed the old program standard of 126.85 set last season by six-tenths of one point.
Aning's final home performance was highlighted by a 33.2 all-around effort and a title-earning 8.3 score on the beam. She also placed second on the bars with an 8.0.
Bosshart, who was second all-around with 32.55 points, won the vault crown with an 8.55.
Bosshart also placed second on the beam (7.5), third on the bars (7.9) and fourth on the floor (8.3).
Cardinals Danielle Cook and Amanda Dooyema shared second place with MCW athletes on the vault and floor respectively.
Cook and MCW's Jill Wagenman recorded 8.8s on the vault. Dooyema and Lisa Burmeister registered 8.4s on the floor.
Mavericks Lacy Abel and Kelly Wagenman won the floor and bar competitions with respective 8.6 and 8.25 efforts.
Luverne, which ends the regular season with a 7-9 record, will compete at the Section 3A Gymnastics Championships at noon Saturday in Windom.
