My conversation with Paula Lupien, FHS Gymnastics Coach - 04/05/22 (audio)

FM #775 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 775 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Paula Lupien, Coach of the FHS Gymnastics team conducted on April 5, 2022.  Paula was announced in Dec 2021 as the Winner of the MIAA Coach of the Year award. We decided to wait until her season was complete  (and what a season it was) to have this conversation.

We talk about how she came into the role as coach after advocating to create a team, and how she has developed the program to be undefeated for 2 seasons in the Hockomock League, win the Sectionals this year, take 2nd in the State and then 1st at New England. What does the team do from here? It may be something of a building opportunity but the team is positioned to do good things next year and going forward.

The recording runs about 38 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Paula on April 5, 2022. Audio file ->  https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-775-paula-lupien-fhs-gymnastics-coach-04-05-22

FHS Gymnastics Team: D1 New England CHAMPIONS

HockomockSports.com: Player of the Week -> Emma White, Franklin Gymnastics

Franklin senior Emma White has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 27 through March 5. White is the 23rd player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2021-22 school year and the 12th of the winter season.

White continued her stellar senior season by adding another all-around title to her resume. She took home first place at the state championship meet that was held this weekend at Algonquin High, helping the Panthers finish in second place as a team and qualify for the upcoming New England meet. This title was added to the South Sectional and the Hockomock Gymnastics Championships all-around titles that White already claimed this winter.

“Emma has been a great athlete to coach these past two years,” said Franklin coach Paula Lupieb. “It’s been fun watching her gel with the team and excel in her craft! She performs with grace and power, as a senior she will be greatly missed."

FHS gymnastics take 2nd place in MIAA State Championships

"Here at the #MIAA 2022 Gymnastics State Championships! Thank you Algonquin HS for hosting!! #gameonMIAA" https://t.co/0NICkuu8wp 

MIAA Gymnastics Championships Final:

• 1) Masconomet, 149.325
• 2) Franklin, 144.9
• 3) Wilmington/Bedford, 142.45
• 4) Reading, 141.275
• 5) Burlington, 140.1
  

 

Here at the #MIAA 2022 Gymnastics State Championships

Kat Cornetta's recap of the Championships in the Boston Globe:

"Masconomet had a 3.65 lead going into its final rotation, floor exercise, and built on it with a wide variety of routines. From Emma Quirk’s balletic turn to Brandt’s tribute to Paula Abdul that featured an opening double pike, their skills kept the title firmly in grasp.

Franklin senior Emma White was the day’s most dynamic gymnast, and it propelled the Panthers to second place and earned her the all-around title with a 38.925. White earned a 9.8 on balance beam, with a flawless tumbling series, followed by a moonwalk for good measure. A spirited floor exercise rotation for Franklin was capped by perfect routines by both Kate Rudolph and White, with White hitting both a double back and double pike to earn a 9.75.

“It’s unbelievable what they have been able to accomplish,” Franklin coach Paula Lupien said. “They continue to elevate their skills every time they step into the gym. They did everything they possibly could have today, and I couldn’t ask anything more out of them.”

FHS Emma White takes 2nd in All-Around

"The high school gymnastics community has been buzzing the past two years over the emergence of Masconomet sophomore Bella Misiura and Franklin senior Emma White. Due to the pandemic, Misiura and her two-time state champion Masconomet teammates had not had the opportunity to face Franklin, which jumped into the spotlight last winter thanks to White’s high-level gymnastics. 

Misiura and White’s first all-around high school battle at Monday afternoon’s Massachusetts High School Gymnastics Coaches State Individual Championships at Tewksbury High School lived up to expectations. 

The title came down to the last event, floor exercise. Both completed difficult double back tumbling passes, Misiura’s front tumbling was the difference-maker, earning her a 9.575 score that gave her the title over White, 38.275 to 38.125. "

Despite her execution of a difficult double back tumbling pass, Franklin's Emma White (above) came up just short of Masconomet's Bella Misiura, whose narrow victory on the floor exercise propelled her to the all-around title. ERIN CLARK/GLOBE STAFF/ERIN CLARK
