Battlefords Gymnastics Club shines at two competitions
It’s a busy time for the Battlefords Gymnastics Club, with both Provincials and Western Regional Championships on the horizon; one next week and one in mid-May.
The group may be carrying some extra confidence leading up to those big events, as many of the club’s athletes picked up some positive results at two recent competitions. Seven artistic gymnasts competed at the Can-Am Personal Best Invitational in Saskatoon and three rhythmic gymnasts competed in Regina at the Wascana Invitational last weekend.
Zara Carter, Hailey Dyck, and Kyra Kolenosky each competed in Junior-Olympic (JO) level 7 in Saskatoon, which is considered a provincial level. Carter finished eighth all-around and fourth all-around on floor; Dyck placed ninth all-around and eighth place on beam; Kolenosky finished ninth all-around in her first meet as a JO level 7.
“I thought they did a really good job because I know they were all very, very nervous going into it,” head coach Danielle Clark said. “Last year, two of them only competed as level 4s, so they basically went from a level 4 to a level 7 this year.”
