Freshman Lauren Geissler also competed in the all-around, winning the beam and placing third in the vault and bars. Nikki Kowalski placed second on the bars and third in floor exercise and Lee Famigletti contributed a third in vault.”The key to our success is that we’re getting really strong performances from our younger gymnasts.

She really benefited from competing last season,” said coach Heather Boepple.SWIMMINGSt. Mary’s 89, Matignon 81At the Lynn YMCA, the Spartans (1-3) got wins from: Dan Kraemer, 200 free (2:22.94) and 500 free (6:47.37); Eddie Traniello, 50 free (25.87) and 100 free (59.15); and the 200 free relay team (Barron Lincoln, Mike Russo, Sean Mahar and Traniello, 1:52.62).BOYS BASKETBALLSt. Mary’s 62, Masco 44At St. Mary’s, Tom Deveau led the Spartans with 17 points, and teammates Nick Gagliolo and Devin Thompson each finished with 14.KIPP Academy-Lynn Collegiate against PhoenixThe KALC squad lost to Phoenix Charter.
