MAPLE GROVE —Brainerd concluded its regular season with a first-place, zero-deduction performance at the Maple Grove Invite Sunday, Jan. 26.
Brainerd posted its highest score of the season.
The Warrior junior varsity team also posted a zero-deduction, first-place finish.
“Having a zero-deduction performance is a goal that both the varsity and junior varsity have been working for all season,” Brainerd head coach Carissa Ulness said. “To accomplish it on the same day together was the perfect way to end our regular season.
“These students have been working hard the last six months to improve their stunting skills.”
