Lake Forest sophomore<br />
Kristen Fisch returned to<br />
the Scouts lineup to lead<br />
her team to seventh out<br />
of 12 teams at the Robin<br />
Straus Invite Saturday,<br />
Jan. 5, in Lake Forest.<br />
Fisch, who was out the<br />
previous week with an<br />
illness, finished tied for<br />
seventh in the all-around<br />
with 35.5 points. Teammate<br />
Gianna Pasquesi, a<br />
freshman, landed 10th in<br />
the all-around.<br />
The Scouts totaled<br />
135.65 team points, less<br />
than two points away from<br />
fourth-place Lake Park<br />
at the star-studded invite,<br />
but more than five ahead<br />
of eighth-place Deerfield.<br />
But the top three teams<br />
separated themselves<br />
from the pack: Meet<br />
champion Carmel edged<br />
last year’s state champion<br />
Prairie Ridge by a third<br />
of a point, 146.65-146.3,<br />
while Wheaton-Warrenville<br />
South was soundly<br />
in third at 142.25. Lake<br />
Park, Geneva, Conant and<br />
Lake Forest followed.<br />
Fisch took fourth on the<br />
floor (9.15), sixth on bars<br />
(9.45), eighth on vault<br />
(9.25) and, indicative of the<br />
Scouts tough day with the<br />
event, 43rd on beam (7.7).<br />

Pasquesi notched three<br />
12th-place finishes (vault,<br />
bars and floor) and had<br />
Lake Forest’s best beam<br />
score (8.5; tied for 20th).<br />
Freshman Taylor Cekay<br />
took sixth on the vault,<br />
but only competed in two<br />
events on the day.<br />
The Scouts averaged<br />
34.9 points across vault,<br />
bars and floor, but managed<br />
only a combined<br />
30.85 on beam.<br />
