Rhinelander’s Alexis Smith performs her vault during the GNC Small meet at the YMCA of the Northwoods Saturday, Feb. 17.

Her 8.368 average score is sixth-best in the field. The top five and ties in the event will move on to next weekend’s state meet in Wisconsin Rapids. (Bob Mainhardt for the River News)
