We are so proud of our Level Six Team - well, we are proud of all of our teams, but especially so because these gymnasts were Level Four last spring and over the summer time, they tested out to be Level Six, optional gymnasts.  The gymnasts are Parker Brock, Tiffani Dooley, Juliet Dunlap, Lilian Overholser, Charlee Smith and Brooklyn Theodore.  These gymnasts have been coached by Sara Heil and Jenna Mecca and Laurel Adams for at least the last two years.

Jacksonville Gymnastics Competitive Team, which is located at Huff 'n Puff, met Saturday in four sessions to compete before USAG sanctioned judges.  This meet is held yearly before the actual competitive season begins and gives the gymnasts, their coaches and parents an idea as to where the gymnasts stand.  This meet gives the gymnasts the opportunity perform their skills before the judges and a crowd of people.  It is a non-competitive meet and is a lot of fun for the gymnasts (as well as for the audience.)

Competing their skills were the following Level One Gymnasts, who range in age from four to six:   Hannah Brune, Morgan Cantrell, Fallon Madding, Landree Malloy, Briannalyn Rinks, Marleigh Romes, Da"Ryah Smith, Adaline Trent, McKinley Varner and Conlee Wainscott.  The Level One gymnasts were initiated in the Mock Meet as they competed in the first session which began at 8:00 a.m.

Competing Xcel Platinum were Kaeani Cruz, Ana Highfill, Kenzie Howerton, Mia Mabry and Kensley Rickett.  Competing Xcel Diamond were Mae Armstrong and Elizabeth Scott.  The xcel gymnasts are coached by Coach Stacy Person.
