Gymnastics: Murgic caps off standout career at state meet
Rosemount senior gymnast Katie Murgic fell on her opening vault at last week’s Class 2A state gymnastics meet.
Preparing for her second and final vault, Murgic got a simple message from Irish coach Jason Passeri. The vault would be her final event as a Rosemount gymnast.
“He told me, ‘This is your last vault ever. Don’t leave anything to regret. Land on your feet,’” Murgic recalled.

Irish gymnasts top Eden Prairie
Rosemount gymnastics coach Jason Passeri finally got his wish last week, and it might be proving the longtime coach correct in his assumptions.
Last week, Passeri said he was waiting for the Irish to put together their first complete meet. He was, “waiting for a big meet to happen.”
A day later, Rosemount did just that in a 143.4-140.35 win against Farmington.

Gymnasts finish fourth among the elites at Eastview’s Abby Invitational
Placing fourth at last week’s Abby Invitational at Eastview High School, the Rosemount gymnastics team felt more mixed feelings.
To place in the top half of an elite meet with several ranked teams can make the Irish feel good about their prospects for this season. But at the same time, the team performance was inconsistent.

Irish drop nail-biter at Jefferson
After enduring a close loss, the Rosemount gymnastics team might be better off just putting things in the past.
The Irish lost 140.425-139.575 on Tuesday at Bloomington Jefferson. It was a tough loss to take. Rosemount had scored better than a depleted Jaguars squad just over a week earlier.

Team scores approach 140 in a pair of victories
Rosemount gymnastics coach Jason Passeri isn’t usually one to temper expectations.
If the coach knows the Irish are capable of doing something significant, he tends to share that opinion.
Heading into the season, Passeri said his team has the talent to surpass the magic 140-point threshold. Yet, he felt Rosemount would likely fall in the middle 130-point range.

Gymnastics preview: Murgic is back to lead Irish gymnastics
Rosemount gymnastics coach Jason Passeri often uses the 140-point mark as a reference point when judging his team’s potential.
Last season, Passeri wasn’t expecting any 140-point team scores early, but then the Irish hit that total in just its fourth competition. Rosemount remained near or above the mark for the rest of the season.
