Novice and Intermediate 21st June 2009

Excitement and Apprehension all rolled together for this years Novice and Intermediate Gymnasts.  Who would be good? How good would we be? These were all questions we needed answers for! Off to Newcastle again.

We had 12 Gymnasts across three age groups. For our little 2001 birthdays; Jess, Hannah & Macy, there were only three so all scores to count. We played safe with the routines and vault. It paid off with a Silver team medal and 17 full marks between us and the next team. Wow, girls and all of your scores had to count, some result that was!!

Jessica Lacson finished in 3rd place overall and Macy Cheetham in 6th place overall.  Great results, you 2001`s.

Next up were the 2000`s; Shannon, Tilly, and Chloe. Again three scores were to count, but there were some really talented kids here. Ooooops; a couple of mistakes and a couple of falls but we still won team Silver, a great result.

Shannon Thompson in 4th place and Chloe Robinson in 6th place,  Well done 2000`s.

The old Ladies were next; well not so old - U11, Alice, Ellie, Kate  L and  Vanessa. Some experienced gymnasts here, so a good competition was expected of them. Again, they didn’t disappoint with some great routines and some massive vaults and really good skills.

Alice in 4th place  Well done to everyone. We definitely need some glue though girls, team Silver again!  Wow!

 Intermediate U11 Regional Champion was Lauren Hearfield. Well done Lauren you deserve this one, just for my nagging ALONE!!
Another new move learned in a week; straddle to handstand on beam as your mount. Great lol.  Clean routines and interesting bars eh!

Well done to all Redcar Gym Club crew, you all looked lovely. You have harder skills to learn now, so new things to learn over the summer.

Well done, Diane x
