Level 5 & 6 Girls competed Saturday December 14, 2002 at the USAG State Championships in New Haven, CT.

Congratulations are in order for Gymnastics Revolution’s Level 5 team, who have just completed their Fall Season.  Gymnastics Revolution began planning this season with only 3 athletes, who trained through Level 4 last year.  Lucy, Katie, and Sydney performed admirably this season, each one becoming a more determined, focused, and able athlete.  Special congratulations should be given to Sydney, who placed 1^st in Connecticut on Vault, and Katie and Sydney, who both finished in the top ten all-around in Connecticut. 

Before the season started, three additional gymnasts were put on the team.  With little or no competitive experience to draw from, Chelsey, Charlotte, and Lizzie were in a difficult situation.  They had to learn routines, they had to learn how competition works, and they had to bring their skill levels to the appropriate levels.  If these three criteria are the measures of success, then our new team members were extremely successful.  Without the benefit of experience, gymnasts rarely move from one level to another mid-season.  Chelsey and Charlotte, however, proved their abilities, and did just that.  Lizzie was a solid enough gymnast to skip Level 4 entirely!  Lizzie was also able to place  2^nd  on bars, and Chelsey earned the title of State Champion on bars. 

These athletes worked hard enough to impress everyone at Gymnastics Revolution, and will be performing again in the near future.  As they continue to work hard and improve, we expect to hear much more about them!
