After routing, among others, neighbors Barrington and Bristol, the Redskin gymnasts finished undefeated in Eastern League dual meet competition with a five-point victory over previously unbeaten Middletown.

Next up was the Southeastern Regional Championships, where they edged North Kingstown for the title.  Named to the regional All Star team were Kathy Alexander, Mary Ellen Annunziata, Cindy Bonalewicz, Karen Cabral, Debbie Cordeiro, Bonnie O’Blenis, and Pat O’Blenis.

The girls then completed the hat trick when they copped the State Championship by a margin of 5.25 points over defending titleist North Kingstown.  They were led by the O’Blenis sisters, who together garnered more than fifty of Warren’s eighty-two points.   

Mary Ellen Annunziata, Bonnie O’Blenis, and Pat O’Blenis were named to the Providence Journal- Bulletin All State squad.  Besides Annunziata and the O’Blenis sisters, other members of the team included Kathy Alexander, Donna Aldcroft, Cindi Bonalewicz, Nancy Burns, Karen Cabral, Joan Chaves, Linda Coccio, Debbie Cordeiro, Lori Francis, Judy Heaney, Cindy Moran, Maureen Sousa, and Jane Urban.

Following the season the Rhode Island Athletic Directors Association named Coach Ann Chandler its first Outstanding Contributor to Girls Athletics.
