Madison Hull was crowned vault champion with a gold while also claiming silver on floor and bars before completing a full house with a bronze on beam. That gave Madison a silver overall while also picking up a special judges Artistry Award.

Claudia Lewis claimed silver on bars and vault while also claiming a judges coveted Artistry Award.

Jessica Park completed a fine first day for the club with a solid all round performance winning silver on beam and claiming a bronze on floor and vault collecting an overall bronze medal performance.

On the second day both gymnasts competing performed admirably competing at the Novice Level 4 Piece Competition.

Rhianna Doogan was crowned vault champion claiming gold, while following that up with a silver medal on Beam finishing fourth overall. With only a fall on a very difficult bars routine, this capped a fine individual performance.

Shannon Cairns, who stepped up to the difficult novice level for the first time competed very well without being placed but this will give her great confidence to take to her next competition.
