King Edmund Acrobatics Competition Feb 2014 (Bristol)

WG's Gold and Bronze Medals

And so, after a successful tumbling competition, we jumped straight on a minibus from the competition, to drive down to the South West region to prepare for the Yate International Acro Competition, hosted by one of the best clubs in the country - King Edmund.

It seemed this would be a weekend for Hendon, as we had a complete set of clean routines from every single partnership, and some high technical and artistry scores.

We eventually came away stealing the show with our Grade 4 WG's... taking the Gold and the Bronze medals with Sadie, Sophie & Hannah and Alix, Cassy & Olivia (whom had one of the top 5 artistry scores in the entire competition) respectively.

They were only 0.3 between them (due to technicalities only!!)

Well done to all :)

Tumbling Regional Championships 2014

Tumbling Medalists


We kick started a very busy weekend with our most important tumbling competition of the year - The Regionals! And kick start, we did... Showing an array of quick and powerful tumbles, we came out the other side looking like strong contingent.

The result was a total of 5 medals out of only 9 competing, and more importantly having 4 gymnasts qualify through to the Tumbling Semi-Finals to be held in Sheffield and Coventry later in the year. Well done to all!!

Summary:

Hannah Tang - Gold (Q)
Olivia Foley - Silver (Q)
Erin Kovacs - Silver (Q)

Full results to come soon!

Heathrow Acro Invitational Feb 2014

ACO Trio in their new leo's

We ventured to Heathrow for the 2nd year running for their invitational Acrobatics competition. We knew it would be a tough cookie! A few nerves were on show as unfortunately two of our five partnerships dropped moves. However, on the upside, our women's pair of Esme and Jasmine completed their routine with neat artistry. Not only that, but our women's groups finished 5th and 7th out of a massive group of 23 partnerships in their category.

Special congrats to Alix, Cassy and Olivia whom gained our highest artistry score of the competition, with 8.63, only 0.27 behind first place, and a measly 0.05 behind second place! See below for full results
