The Pirouettes had placed fifth in the section last year and were beaten by the same four teams on Saturday plus Montevideo, a state power, moved into the section this year and took first place.

The results were: 1) Montevideo; 2) Yellow Medicine East; 3) Lac Qui Parle Valley; 4) Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop; 5) New Ulm Cathedral; 6) Paynesville; 7) Minneota; 8) Renville County West; 9) BOLD; 10) Watertown-Mayer; 11) Albany.

"I have a large group of sophomores this year," she added, "and as they gain more experience I can only see the Pirouettes improving and placing higher."
