The Yorkton Springers Gymnastics Club competed at the Queen City Kinsmen (QCK) Gymnastics competition in Regina. The event featured all the Yorkton club's athletes right from the pre-competitive girls right up to the top level provincial gymnast says coach Todd Appel.
Overall Appel says the club did very well with three girls finishing first all around. While there's still room for some improvement, he's happy with his team's performance. He's aiming to have the team peak for provincials which will take place in Yorkton next month. "There's still time to improve," he suggests. The next major competition which all members will attend will be hosted in Yorkton, March 23 to 25, Appel reports.
Yorkton Springers coach Sonya Brewer had her team of five Gymcat Advanced Level girls to Moose Jaw for the QCK competition. She says the youngsters had fun while performing very well in only their second competition. "The girls all had fun and are excited for the next one," Brewer declares.
