Nikki Harrington, a junior at Sharon Academy, practices on the beam with her team at Northern Lights Gymnastics in Hartford, Vt., on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Harrington's purple leotard honors the former coach of over 25 years Phyllis MacDonald, who passed away from ovarian cancer in September 2017. The gymnastics students are starting to prepare for their show in early May, and this year the theme is "girl power" in memory of MacDonald. (Valley News - Joseph Ressler) Copyright Valley News.
