KENTWOOD CONQUERORS: AT A GLANCE

• COACH: Bob Fenton, second year.

• LAST YEAR: Ninth in the SPSL North.

• TOP RETURNERS: Jordan Johnson, sr., all-around; Megan Lee, so., all-around; Amanda Lajoye, jr., beam, floor, vault; Delanie Cornwell, so., beam; Deirdre Vasquez, sr., all-around; Donalee Vasquez, sr., all-around; Cynthia Miller, so., beam, floor; Maria Huyah, so., bars, beam, floor.

• TOP NEWCOMERS: Beth Parrish, fr., all-around; Brook Wangler, sr., all-around; Zoe Bringham, fr., all-around; Mackenzie Goodrich, so., bars/vault; Hira Shin, fr., beam, floor.

• KEY LOSSES: Hannah Swanson (graduation), Alana Davis, Rainee Tervol, Alison Wattles.

• TEAM STRENGTH: Numbers.

• TEAM WEAKNESS: Lack of experience.

• OUTLOOK: Kentwood has fluctuated between 125 and 146 on the scorebaord during the early season, but hasn’t had a full lineup to work with. With Johnson leading the way, this is a group that should find itself between 150-160 by season’s end and, as such, will make a nice jump from last year’s finish.
