Arabia Mountain freshman makes statement at state meet

Freshman Reagan Graves made a statement for the future after placing top 10 in the floor exercise at the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) State Gymnastics Meet held recently at Buford High School. 

Graves was coming off her DeKalb County Gymnastics Championships All-Around title at the county meet in April, and coaches said she prepared for her performance at the GHSA Preliminary Qualifier following her county title.  

Graves put up an impressive performance, scoring a 9.4 to qualify for the main draw at the state meet. 

Going against many older and more experienced competitors, Graves hit for a score of 9.125. Her score was good for sixth place in the statewide event. 

Her DeKalb County Gymnastics Championships All-Around performance included a gold medal in the floor (9.2) and beam (8.85), a silver in the vault (8.250), and a fourth-place finish on the bars. Her scores aided Arabia Mountain’s second-place finish as a team at county.
