The JAX Gymnastics Tumbling and Trampoline Team, coached by Erin Powell, competed recently in their first meet at the Stay Sharp Invitation in Lancaster, TX.  There were about 65 kids from five teams who competed in the meet. 

This  was actually an end-of-the season meet but it was a good meet for the JAX Gymnasts to learn something about the world of Tumbling and Trampoline meets.  Athletes from JAX Gym who competed were: 

Emma Faulkner, Level 7, 2^nd Tumbling

Mia Faulkner, Level 5, 2^nd Tumbling

Reagan Hodson, Level 5, 3^rd Tumbling

Tevin Patillo, Level 7 Trampoline, 2^nd; Level 6 Tumbling 3rd

Olivia Phillips, Level 5 Tumbling, 1st

Rhett Shuman, Level 3 Trampoline, 2nd

Maddie Young, Level 4 Trampoline, 2nd

Lyndi Brown, Level 5 Tumbling, 5^th

On Sunday, June 5^th, Rich Trevino and Rich Trevino, Jr. hosted a clinic for the JAX Team, which was a huge success.  Each of the gymnasts learned to do something new, and Tevin and Emma did their first double backs and double fronts by themselves.

The Trampoline and Tumbling season (TNT) starts usually in January to early spring, and the  nationals are always the fourth of July weekend.  The JAX TNT Team will work on skills all summer and the fall in preparation for competing in their first season.  The JAX GYM gymnasts will be representing Arkansas in many meets next year, as they are the only TNT team in the state.
