Brainerd gymnasts open with victory over Little Falls

LITTLE FALLS -- Kathleen Lorenz dominated the opening meet of the season for Brainerd as she won three events to help propel the Warriors to a 137.45 to 124.95 victory over the Little Falls Flyers Tuesday.

"It was a typical first meet," said Brainerd coach Dave Maras. "We had some early season mistakes and we definitely haven't peaked yet."
