About this Article

Glenbard West, Geneva and St. Charles co-op had so many great performances last week in regional competition that it made Tuesday’s Glenbard West sectional a must-see event for girls gymnastics fans. The Vikings have never advanced to state in their young 13-year history. Meanwhile, St. Charles co-op had earned just a single trip in the past 12 years. The Hilltoppers and Vikings still might celebrate, but they won’t know if they have a reason to until around 9:30 p.m. Thursday. As for St. Charles, it started to party when it was awarded a sectional plaque after a thrilling victory.
