WATERTOWN – Another gymnastics event in Watertown, another record for Maggie Fites.

The Aberdeen Central sophomore who broke the school record in all-around and tied another in the floor at Watertown on Tuesday, established a new school mark on the beam Thursday night.

Fites recorded a score of 9.525 which broke a record set by Jenny Janish from eight years ago.

Fites helped to set the tone for the evening for the Golden Eagles.

“We started on beam, which can make or break the rest of the meet. It made our meet!” said Central coach Mickey Everson. “The girls performed better than the scores reflected on some events, but we went away happy with how we did.”

Fites finished third on the beam and was fifth in all-around.
