Gymnasts leap to second place in national competition

February 6, 2015

Six girls vaulted to second place at a national gymnastics championships.

The team from Inglefield House travelled to Haberdashers’ Aske’s School, Elstree for the Girls’ Independent Schools Gymnastics Association’s U11 Four Piece National Championships on January 18.

This is a new competition inviting new schools to GISGA to compete against each other in four pieces – Set Floor, Set Vault, Voluntary Floor and Voluntary Vault.

Eliza was in control of her performances throughout the entire competition, performing well on all four pieces.

Charlotte had a little stumble on Set Floor which meant that she incurred a small deduction.

In the end there was only 0.20 between the first three places.

Eliza won individual gold and Charlotte individual bronze, with the team finishing in 2nd place and taking the silver medal.

The girls all supported each other and enjoyed the team element of the competition.
