RIVER CITY MID-WINTER CLASSIC

January 22 - 24, 2010

LEVELS THREE - FOUR - FIVE - SIX - SEVEN - EIGHT - NINE - TEN

 

Gymnasts, coaches and parents spent much of this weekend at River City Gym competing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with 410 gymnasts from eighteen Arkansas teams.  Most of the  meet was Capitol Cup Format which allowed half of the teams to warm up in another part of the gym while the other teams were competing, thus allowing the meet to go smoothly.

 

The ten Jacksonville Gymnastics Level Four gymnasts competed on Friday evening with 97 gymnasts from eight teams.  The Jacksonville team members who won the Third-Place Team Trophy are Madison Dixon, Melanie Fortson, Catherine Hancock, Reagan Hodson, Macey Jasmin, Breanna Orr, Gracie Petefish, Graycyn Powers, Taylor Stauffer and Alex Wargo.  Top honors for the team were won as follows:

Friday night meets after a full day of school are just about as tough as 8:00 early morning sessions.  These happy and proud Jacksonville Level Four gymnasts didn't mind though.  From left to right, front row and Reagan and Macey; second row gymnasts are Graycyn, Melanie, Gracie and Alex.   Standing in third and back rows are Madison, Taylor, Breanna and Catherine.  These gymnasts were very proud of their Third-Place trophy, as were the coaches and the rest of us!
