Andover's Lowestein takes third in vault

Andover's Emily Lowenstein placed third in the vault with a 9.225 at the individual state gymnastics meet yesterday. It was the junior's first time placing at the meet.
Central Catholic's Jamie Maffeo placed fifth in the vault (9.1).
In the all-around, Andover freshman Courtney Carver (35.85) placed eighth and sophomore Jessie Livingston (Andover) (35.775) placed ninth.
Livingston didn't compete last year because she was recovering from a fractured back that almost ended her career about 17 months ago.
Livingston, who stands at 4 foot 11, did physical therapy for more than a year.
Andover senior Jenny Coneeny was named to the senior national team yesterday. A stress fracture in her back, however, kept her from competing. She had placed 10th in the all-around the past two years.
North Andover's Jessica Whitehead took sixth in the floor with a 8.7.
Central Catholic's Giana Contrada made the Massachusetts national team that will compete in Fort Myers, Fla. in May.
For the boys, Methuen's Zach Smith placed second in the vault (9.625) while his teammate Cam Cyr placed sixth in the vault (9.35).
