EDGIN SISTERS, - HALEY AND KAYLA

The Edgin Sisters, Haley and Kayla, have been at Jacksonville Gymnastics for nearly three and a half years.  Haley was a Level Four and Kayla was a Level Six gymnast when they arrived.  Haley, now ten years old will compete at Level Eight and Kayla, now barely fourteen, will compete at Level Nine.  Kayla won Second-Place Level Eight 2007 State Champion last year and was selected to attend Level Eight Regional Championship (competing against gymnasts from seven states).  Haley was Level Seven State Champion and was also selected to attend the 2007 Level Seven Hall of Fame.  Jacksonville Gymnastics had two of the six Level Seven gymnasts (out of 76) chosen to represent Arkansas in the Hall of Fame meet held in Oklahoma City.

ELLIS SISTERS - MACKENZIE AND COURTNEY

The Ellis sisters, Mackenzie, age eight, and Courtney, age 12, have been at Huff 'n Puff for over three and a half years.  Mackenzie started out with Coach Erin in the advanced preschool program with other team gymnasts and is now a Level Six gymnast.  Mackenzie won the Second-Place Individual All-Around State Champion for her age and was a member of the 2007 Level Five State Championship Team.    Mackenzie is now a Level Six Gymnast. 

Courtney was a ready-to-be Level Six gymnast when she came to Jacksonville Gymnastics, having just won the Level Five  Individual All-Around State Championship for her age and is now a Level Eight gymnast.  After coming to Jacksonville Gymnastics, Courtney went on to be State Champion, Level Six, co-champion Level Seven, and was Level Eight Champion in the March 2007 State Meet.  Courtney was one of the four Jacksonville Gymnastics Level Eight gymnasts to be chosen to go to Regionals in Texas to compete against gymnasts from seven state region.  Their mom Christy coaches the Level Three and Level Four competitive team.  Both Mackenzie and Courtney are also members of the Jacksonville Dance Company.

SPEARS SISTERS - TORI AND MADI

Tori and Madi, Coach Laurel's daughters, have grown up in the gym.  Tori is now 13 and is a Level Seven gymnast.  Tori won Second-Place Individual All-Around Championship last year as a Level Six and was a member of the 2006 Level Six State Championship Team.  Tori has been a member also of the Jacksonville Dance Company since it's inception four years ago.  Madi, age nine, began as a preschool gymnast at age three with Coach Erin and is competing this year as a Level Five gymnast.  She was a Level Four State Fun Meet Champion in March, 2007 (this year) and is also a member of the Jacksonville Dance Company.

TAYLOR SISTERS - HANNAH, NEELY AND MATTIE

The Taylor Sisters have been here at Huff 'n Puff for over three years.  Hannah, age ten, is now a member of the Level Five Competitive Team and was State Floor Champion for her age.  Neely is finally old enough now to take dance and has been showing all of us how to do her sister's gymnastics routines for almost a year now.  Mattie, age seven, was a Level Three gymnast last year and will be a Level Four gymnast this season.  Her mother told me today that Mattie can already do her cartwheel on the beam (Level Five skill).  Hannah and Mattie are also both members of the Jacksonville Dance Company this year.  Alex Taylor, age ten, is also a Level Five gymnast and has been at Huff 'n Puff as long as Hannah and she is a cousin to these Taylor girls.  It is truly a family sport!!!

SISTERS?  WELL, THEY CLAIM TO BE!!!!!!

Kendra Lytch and Bailea Jones seem to be inseparable and told me they were the same as sisters, and I believe it.  Where you see one, you will usually see the other gymnast.  Many of the gymnasts feel they are sisters to other gymnasts!!!!  Both gymnasts are ten - Kendra has been here for over five years and Bailea over four years.  Bailea started out in that same advanced preschool class with Coach Erin as Madi and Mackenzie and Lynzie VanBrocklin.  Bailea is the 2007 Level Five Vault Champion and she placed second on floor; Bailea will compete Level Five this season.  Kendra won Second-Place State Champion Level Five and will compete Level Six this season.  Both girls were members of the Jacksonville Gymnastics 2007 Level Five State Championship Team.  Also, both girls are also members of the Jacksonville Dance Company.
