Nicole Stevens earned CAL/NEC MVP honors after placing in the top spot for the best all-around average in the league. Stevens also took first place in the beam and teammate Jessica Whitehead enjoyed the same success in the floor excercise at yesterday's league meet.

Andover's girls gymnastics team completed a perfect (14-0) regular season by defeating North Andover, Peabody and Marblehead in a quad-meet. Courtney Carver and Jenny Coneeny finished second and third in the all-around while Jesse Livingston won both the vault and bars. North Andover's freshman Nicole Stevens had an impressive 9.6 winning score in the floor and also was first in the beam and came away as the all-around winner with a 36.95. The floor and all-around scores are personal-best performances. Andover and North Andover will compete in the MVC and CAL meets Saturday.

Despite the return of Nicole Stevens to competition on all four apparatus, North Andover started a string of three straight challenging gymnastics meets with a close loss to unbeaten Danvers. Stevens won three events and the all-around for the Knights in the setback.

North Andover freshman Nicole Stevens continued to improve from a preseason injury, winning both the bars and Beam (9.3) as the Knights (2-0) whipped Winthrop 128.85-117.25. Jessica Whitehead won the vault and floor and was first in all-around with a 33.05.

Freshman Chrysla Gui won the bars and floor exercise and was first in all-around in her high school debut as North Andover opened its gymnastics season with a convincing victory over Salem (Mass.).
