SARTELL-Millie Klefsaas won the vault and placed second in all-around for the Brainerd Warriors who were plagued by injuries and flu in a 140-136.925 loss to the Sartell Sabres in a Central Lakes Conference meet Thursday.
Both teams entered the meet 1-1 in the CLC with the Warriors ranked sixth in Class 2A.
Klefsaas was also second on the uneven parallel bars and Jaelyn King tied for second on vault.
Kianna Christensen finished third in the all-around and Megan Ostendorf's tie for third was the only Brainerd finish in the top five on the beam.
"This was a really weird night for us," said Brainerd head coach Seth Helland. "Coming in we had some injuries and flu bugs going around and had to adjust our lineup. Then in warmups we had some more injuries. The beam really hurt us tonight and unfortunately was our last event. That sucked the life out of us.
