Tumbling Regional Finals 2013


Sophie Boehler - 1st Place



More results for Hendon’s very first Acrobatics & Tumbling Squad! This time we were competing at the most important Tumbling competition of 2013 – The REGIONAL TUMBLING CHAMPIONSHIPS, held in Richmond. The rules were simple – come first, and you will compete Nationally for the London Region!

The squad is building up a strong tumbling reputation, as we received some great results. Ashira Sears qualified to reach the National Tumbling Finals held in Stoke on Trent in June! Jemma Evans won her competition and smashed her rivals by nearly a whole mark above the closest competitor! Massive congratulations to them both.

Special mention to Ali Keles who decided to compete despite suffering from a nasty fall on the tumble trak during training 2 days before the competition. Despite this, he narrowly missed out on reaching the finals by 0.4 of a mark.

Alix Stagg also was thrown into the deep end, as she only joined the squad a few weeks ago, from the Women’s Artistic squad.  She won a silver medal, losing out on nationals by a VERY tight margin of only 0.04!

Lastly, unfortunately, despite our Sophie Boehler coming 1st in her category, she missed out on nationals ONLY due to a technical scoring rule. The judges were hard at work figuring out who qualified, and unfortunately she just missed out.

Full summary below:
Jemma Evans – Grade 1 – GOLD
Sophie Boehler – Grade 2 – GOLD
Ashira Sears – Grade 2 – GOLD
Ali Keles – Grade 3 – SILVER
Alix Stagg – Grade 3 - SILVER
Jasmine Hallam – Grade 1 – SILVER
Daisy Margolis – Grade 1 - BRONZE
