Kobi Johnson scored a 9.625 to win the floor exercise which led Bishop Dwenger to win the school’s sixth gymnastics state championship and first since 2012. The victory also represented the sixth state title under coach Rose Nix’s leadership.
Bishop Dwenger scored 112.975 points. Johnson’s teammates Avery Gleave and Maria Szczepanski finished third and fourth, respectively, in the all-around standings and the three all finished in the top four in the vault competition.

“It’s important to take time to recognize outstanding accomplishments and the young ladies from Bishop Dwenger have represented Fort Wayne very well with teamwork and sportsmanship,” said Mayor Tucker. “I’m encouraged to see how sports can bring out the best in people and build one another up in a positive manner that will have a lasting impact.”
