With three varsity starters, including two 2011 state meet performers out due to illness or injury, Tiger coach Lynn Bauman put in a call to a handful of junior varsity athletes to fill out the lineup.
The remaining regulars and the new faces did more than an adequate job of filling the holes left by Nadia Lorencz, Kiana Lord and Kylie Wharton in a 125.325-123.85 victory over Red Wing Friday night at the Red Wing Gymnastics Center.
"We had a fun meet," Bauman said. "Our JV girls stepped up and helped us to the win. Now we are looking forward to everyone returning healthy and strong."
Kathryn Beckett had a big night for the winners, placing second in vault (8.75) and floor exercise ( 8.35) and third on the uneven bars (7.525). Her all-around total of 31.775 ranked second.

Jade Alm also played a big part in the victory with second place finishes on both the bars and balance beam.
Three newcomers put together third place efforts: Maddie Timerson, vault; Gina Mercurio, beam and Taylor Schmaltz, floor exercise.
Kendall Novak ranked fifth in vault and Racquel Beckett took fifth on the balance beam.
The Tigers have two Missota Conference dual meets on the docket for next week, Tuesday at New Prague and Thursday against Northfield at the District Service Center.
