The Woodstock Academy gymnastics squad may be younger than a year ago, but it's also better.
In what should be a scary sign for league opponents, the Centaurs easily captured their second consecutive Eastern Connecticut Conference championship with a 143.65-135.2 win over Killingly Friday night at Deary's Gymnastics.
The Centaurs did so with a sophomore and two freshmen leading the way, and the future only promises more of the same.
"We have the Deary twins coming up and a bunch of new ones who are competitive gymnasts out of high school," Woodstock freshman Courtney Osborn said. "We're going to have a really good team for the next 10 years."
"It's the beginning of a huge cycle," agreed Woodstock coach Robin Deary-Fillmore, who also coaches Killingly. "They're all young, they're all strong and I have probably four young ones coming up next year. It's going to be a good cycle for Woodstock for the next few years."
