Marquette gymnast Haddie Ketzenberger makes Last Chance her best one
Ketzenberger not only won the all-around, but recorded the top score on all four apparatuses during the Last Chance high school meet held at Marquette Senior High School on Saturday.
With regionals looming two weeks away, Ketzenberger rolled up 35.45 points in the all-around, more than two points ahead of runner-up May Waters of Negaunee, who had 33.30.
Ketzenberger’s most dominant performance came in balance beam, where she scored 9.70, more than a full point ahead of May’s 8.55 as runner-up.
The Redette gymnast also scored 9.20 in the floor exercise, 8.50 on vault and 8.10 on uneven bars.
Waters was second in three of those disciplines. In addition to her runner-up score on beam, she scored 9.05 on floor and 8.25 on vault while adding a third-place 7.45 on bars.
Pulling out the other runner-up finish was Marquette’s Tally Rasmussen on bars, where she beat out Waters by 0.05 of a point with 7.50. Rasmussen was fourth in all-around with 31.25, actually tied with teammate Grace Henning, who was awarded third.
Rasmussen added a third in beam with 8.45, fourth in vault with 8.10 and fifth on floor with 8.10.
Henning was third on floor with 8.25 and vault with 8.15 while placing fourth in bars, just 0.05 of a point behind May at 7.40.
All-around fifth-place Julia King had three top-five scores — fourth in floor with 8.10, fifth in beam with 7.60 and tied for fifth in vault with 8.00.
