Lawrence Central captured the gymnastics title last year largely due to the performance of sophomore Jessie Leko, who finished fourth in the All-Around. Leko accumulated 37.3 points at the state meet, including a second place finish in the uneven bars and fifth place in the balance beam. Because not everything is a perfect dismount, HSSTM quizzed her mom and her coach to find out who knows Leko best.
    "Jessie has amazing talent in all events," says Lawrence Central coach Michelle Post. "She is working on skills which should result in her placing higher in the All-Around this year."
