­McKenney stands out in Cheney gymnastics

CHENEY – Saddled with limited numbers, Cheney gymnastics had a bright spot emerge Dec. 13 in the season’s first Greater Spokane League meet.

Co-op team member Makaila McKenney of Medical Lake finished third in vault with a score of 8.225, behind the 8.975 from Jacquie Bonnett of Mount Spokane.

“(Makaila) did really well at her first meet,” Coach Melissa Linton said. “Vault is one of her strongest events. She works hard at it and is currently working on upgrading to an even more challenging vault.”

Linton said most of the team was absent from the meet.

“We only had 3-4 athletes on each event and they all did great,” Linton said, noting some were sick and others ineligible due to too few practices.
