The fourth set of rankings for the 2008-09 gymnastics season has been released by the Indiana High School Gymnastics Coaches, and three schools are movin’ on up in the Top 10.
Hagerstown (10th to sixth), Logansport (15th to seventh), and Carroll (Fort Wayne) (18th to ninth) are making some serious noise this week.
The first five from a week ago remain unchanged: Valparaiso, Fort Wayne Dwenger, Columbus North, Chesterton, and New Castle. On the other hand, Columbus East, Franklin Central, Connersville, and Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran all drop out of the rankings.
