Present. Senior Claire Piper and juniors Emma Bettwy and Maddy Pastore show off their awards for the all around placements.

On Feb. 17, the gymnastics team will compete in the Pa Classic State gymnastics meet.

“I have been working on perfecting my skills and getting some last minute upgrades for my routines in hopes to up my scores,” senior Claire Piper said. “I feel very confident and excited going into the State meet as it is my last gymnastics meet ever. As for the team, we have the most talented group of gymnasts. If we stay focused and compete our best, I believe we will excel at States, maybe even win. I am excited to see what’s in store for this team.”

The meet will take place at Moon Area High School.

Jaidyn Palladini, Editor in Chief
Hello, I'm Jaidyn, and I'm a senior at AAHS. This is my third year writing for the Mountain Echo. I am also an Editor in Chief this year! My favorite hobby is twirling, and I also do photography as a side job for family, friends, etc. A fun fact about me is that I work on the Production Team at the Altoona Curve where I take part in photography, videography, and graphics. Other than being on the staff, I am also very involved when it comes to school. I am involved in Majorettes, Chorus, Drama, and Vocal Ensemble. I found a passion for writing towards the end being in junior high and it has gotten me to where I am now. When I get older, I will be majoring in Digital Journalism and Media with a minor in Sports Studies and a certificate in Sports Journalism. I will be attending Penn State University when I graduate high school and I hope to twirl with the Blue Band. I'm looking forward to what this year has to bring to me, and I'm happy to keep you all updated on events going on here! Thanks for checking in! :)
