Battleford Gymnastics Club holds first ever rhythmic meet
It was a first for many members of the Battleford Gymnastics Club (BGC) this past weekend, but already deemed a success.
The club, which has roughly 300 recreational members and 30 competitive members, just started a rhythmic program. On Saturday, six club members competed in front of family, friends, and judges at St. Vital School.
“I’ve seen them improve their skills and they’re hitting a lot of the harder skills that they weren’t able to do at the start of the year,” Battleford Gymnastics Club’s head coach Danielle Clark said. “[The competition] went very well. I’d say the girls definitely performed the best that they’ve performed all year.”
The BGC members who performed at the competition were Makenzie Gidych, Stephanie Jackson, Jaden Miller, Shaylin Knot, Ryann Short, and Kylie Cooke. The six combined to win six medals for the club: one gold, three silver, and two bronze.
