The 2021-22 Providence Journal All-State Gymnastic Teams
First Team
Riley Bromage
Sophomore, Warwick Co-op
After a stellar state meet that helped Warwick win the co-op’s first state title, Bromage makes her debut as an All-Stater. The sophomore finished second in the bars, third on the beam and third on the floor as she finished in fourth place in the All-Around standings.
Caitlin Dowling
Sophomore, Coventry
A second-teamer as a freshman, Dowling took a big leap this season and earned her spot on the first team. Dowling had a spectacular state meet, finishing third in the All-Around competition. She medaled in all four disciplines, including a second-place finish on the beam.
Madison Long
Warwick Co-op, Sophomore
Long was a key contributor to Warwick’s state championship and, with a gold medal and top-six finish in the all-around, earned her second straight spot as a first-team All-Stater. Long won the floor exercise and also medaled in the vault with a fifth-place finish.
Sari Nostramo
Wheeler, Junior
She doesn’t have a team but it doesn’t stop Nostramo from competing and winning big. The high-flying junior, who represents the Warriors as an individual, defended her state title in the vault and finished third on the uneven bars to make the first team for the second straight year.
Olivia Priest
North Kingstown, Junior
An injury had Priest unsure whether she’d be able to compete at the state meet, but the junior worked hard at her rehabilitation and defended her championship in style. With a win on the bars and a second-place finish on the floor, Priest totaled 37.30 points to best Barrington’s Shaye Robinson by .35 and made her third straight appearance as a first-team All-Stater.
Shaye Robinson
Barrington, Junior
After opting out of last season, Robinson returned to form this winter and makes her second appearance as a first-team All-Stater. She finished second in the All-Around at the state meet after winning the beam and medaling in the bars and the floor exercises.
