McLean High senior Tara Stewart won Individual Stated Open Championship on beam; Herndon High Senior Kerry Gallagher – regional all around winner – medaled on floor and placed seventh all around; and Grace Chen (Sophomore, Washington & Liberty High, Arlington) competed all around. The three girls have gotten to know one another through high school competitions, including state championships, before.
