OHS gymnastics

A spring sports head coach and winter sports assistant were just announced at Owatonna High School

Owatonna freshman Lindsay Bangs added to her personal trophy case with medals in the all-around and on the uneven bars at Saturday's individual portion of the state gymnastics meet. She just missed the medal stand in the vault and floor exercise, finishing in the top ten in each. Senior Becca Olson and juniors Ali An and Syndey Kretlow also participated Saturday. On Friday Owatonna captured the third place trophy in the team event for the second straight year. This was the Huskies' third straight appearance at state.

Owatonna eighth-grader Lindsay Bangs climbed the podium three times Saturday at the individual AA state gymnastics meet at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion.

Owatonna enters Friday's state gymnastics meet as the No. 2 ranked team in the state. Coach Tom Smith is confident the team can bring home some hardware.

The ultimate experience for a prep athlete is to qualify for the state tournament. Five Owatonna High School teams lived those dreams in 2016.

Two state individual champions, a state runner-up, and a third-place team and individual highlighted the winter sports season at Owatonna High School.
