By Jon Roetman The Connection

n Feb. 2, one of the top gym- nastics teams in Northern OVirginia will be left out of the 6A North region cham- pionship meet. Washington-Lee, the three-time defend- ing region champion; McLean, last year’s state runner-up; and Yorktown have the talent to compete for a region title. How- ever, all three teams are members of Con- ference 6, and only the top two teams from each conference advance to regionals, meaning one will be eliminated from con- tention nine days before the region meet even takes place. The Conference 6 championship meet, scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2 at McLean High School, figures to be a pressure-packed event. But before that date arrives, W-L capi- talized on an opportunity to have some fun and add another piece of hardware to the trophy case. The host Generals won the Barbara Reinwald Invitational on Jan. 24 at Wash- ington-Lee High School, finishing ahead of 12 other schools. W-L posted a score of 105.75, followed by Yorktown (101.55), T.C.
