About this Article

Wheaton co-op junior David MacDonald missed out on the fun last year. On Friday night he was right smack dab in the middle of it. MacDonald won the all-around title with a 56.3 to lead Wheaton co-op to its second consecutive state title in the IHSA boys gymnastics team championships at Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort. "It feels so great and I'm just honored to be a part of this team this year," MacDonald said. "We have such a great team. We bond so well. Tonight just feels great."
