Okehampton Flyers Gym, Trampoline & DMT Club gymnasts achieved eleven qualifiers at English Championships, a national final scheduled for the Coventry Arena in July.
To qualify, the gymnasts had to compete at one of two qualifying competitions in Telford and Birmingham in April and June and achieve a top 16 place in double mini trampoline (DMT) or a top 24 place in trampoline out of all the competitors in their grades and age groups across the qualifying competitions. Many of their groups had over 50 gymnasts.
Adela Wrzecionko, Arran Stannard-Heap, Connie James, Evie Nicks, Kayla Prouse, Logan Neville and Mason Parker-Groves have all qualified for the silver English Championships in trampoline, and Amelie West, Connie James, Eliza Luke and Mason Parker-Groves have all qualified for silver DMT.
It is also a first season of national trampoline for Kayla and Evie, and a first season of national DMT for Eliza and Amelie.
Their coach, Vicki Pritchard, said: ‘The gymnasts work really hard in their sessions and we’re really proud of them all for their achievement. Thank you also to all of their parents for their commitment and support in taking them to training and competitions.’
British and English Gymnastics jointly run the English national series.
