Sports Acro Summer Tournament 2008

 

MK Springers recently took part in the South region Sports Acrobatic Summer Tournament. Fifteen of our gymnasts in total took part in floor and tumbling. For many of the partnerships and groups it was their first time competing together. First on floor was the new trio of Harriet Evans/Annastasia Squires/Alex Tompkins, the girls preformed a lovely level 1 routine but were unfortunate to be outside the medals. In Prep A Lucy Jackson/Holly O’Brien were again unlucky while men’s pair Kyle Aryis/Cameron Lambert won the judges over with their humorous routine. In Prep B Jessica Cutting/Natalie Keyte came away with a silver medal after a very clean floor routine. In Level 1 Pairs Harriet & Annastasia were unlucky not to achieve a medal. In Level 2 pairs the experience of Sian Evans /Ruth O’Donnell showed as they came away with a gold medal. On tumble track there was a huge entry for the regional 2 level, Natalie Keyte came away with a silver medal. In regional 3 Lucy and Ella were unlucky but in Regional level 4 Eleanor Broome & Jessica Cutting came away with gold and silver respectively. National 3 saw Sian Evans achieving a gold medal, her second of the day.
Club Manager Felicity Candler-O’Donnell said “This competition has shown us how much these acrobatic gymnasts have improved since last year. Today they competed against the best clubs in the whole of the southern region and we have walked away with gold and silver medals. We will now start training for the regional championships in the autumn and I know our boys and girls have the determination to achieve even more medals then”
