Hodag gymnasts finish 2nd at sectionals, qualify for team state meet for first time since 2005
The Hodags picked the perfect time to have their best performance in more than a decade. Rhinelander scored 127.125 points to finish second at a WIAA Division 2 sectional meet in Antigo. That was good enough to earn Rhinelander a spot in the team portion of the WIAA state meet for just the seventh time in program history — and the first time since 2005.
