Melissa Harmon of Worthington High School had a fierce competitor for the district gymnastics championship in 1988. After a spectacular junior year, Kerry Farrell of the Grandview Heights High School gymnastic team finished second in the district meet behind Harmon, the eventual state champion, who would win five individual state titles in ’88 and ’89. Kerry won the district competition on the vault and in state competition was fourth place in vault, beam and exercise competition. Kerry went on in her senior year to take fourth place in the 1989 state gymnastics meet. It was the highest finish for any Grandview gymnast in the school’s history. In this picture, Kerry shines for Grandview Heights High School in 1989.
