The gymnasts performed an individual floor routine and 2 vaults in front of a panel of judges and a packed audience. Special mention must go to William Haynes, year 2, who gained the highest mark in his team for his floor routine, and also to the girls’ team who competed amazingly to gain the bronze medal in their category.

Congratulations to the teams as follows:
