Highlights of the weekend included Maddie Green completing 2 days of Senior International competition for the first time and Isis performing more than 6 new skills for the first time. Harriet, Hannah & Teliah showed amazing consistency hitting 8 out of 8 routines for the competition. Teliah was selected in the Victorian level 7 team to compete in the Tasmanian Championships in August and Emily qualified for the Victorian team travelling to Perth in 2 weeks to compete at the Australian Championships. Thank-you to Ross, Sally and Tim for coaching all weekend and to Jo Tassone and Sam Lowe for judging.

By far the best part of the weekend though was our unbelievable support crew. Other clubs and judges were all talking about the huge cheer squad we had. It seemed that nearly a third of the audience were wearing red, waving the “Go Jets!” signs and cheering for our gymnasts. There is little doubt that the cheer squad contributed to our gymnasts performing so well and it was exciting to see so many of our coaches and younger gymnasts supporting their club mates and learning about sportsmanship and club spirit. Thank-you to Nicole Engellener for organising the tickets and Kris & Jemma Marshall for organising the signs.

What a great club community we have built together. Jets just keeps getting bigger and better every year. Next year we hope to have half the audience in red and even better performances from our girls!
