The Campbell River Gymnastics Association (CRGA) sent a big team to the Annual Orca Invitational held in Duncan.
The girls showed they were ready for the challenge coming home with countless ribbons and well over 30 medals and six athletes in the top 3 in the All Around including one All Around champion in Reese Wheeldon. This was Amanda Henderson and Melody Bedard’s first competition. New moves for this competition included Tyra Moore competing a cast to handstand on bars for the first time, and Kaitlyn Beaulieu and Michaela Pontious competing front hip circles and stride circles on bars. Other new skills included Brianna Polluck’s giant flyaway on bars, Hannah Sommer’s press to hand stand on beam, Jordan Loock’s sole circle on bars and Makena Movold’s front hip circle on bars.
