LOCAL gymnast Imogen Beardsley has recently taken out the Australian title of 2015 Australian Gymnastics Championships.
Imogen a Grade 10 pupil from St Andrews Anglican College has just returned from the 2015 Australian Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne with a collection of medals.
Imogen trains at Sunshine Coast Gymnastics Academy, Woombye, under Russian coach Rimma Lazarus.
Imogen competed with the Queensland WAG Level 10 team that successfully won the Bronze Medal. The gymnasts also compete individually for the Australian Title. The academy was thrilled to have its first Australian title winner when Imogen won 2015 Australian Gymnastics WAG Level 10 15 and Under All Around Champion. This is a fantastic achievement for Imogen and her coach and a result of many hours of training and dedication.
Sunshine Coast Gymnastics Academy also had great result with the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics with Kyle McCartney also competing as a Queensland individual and Brayden Martin, who now trains at the Queensland High Performance Centre, also winning 2015 Australian Gymnastics MAG Level 8 Under 14 All Around Champion.
Overall, a fantastic achievement from a small country club in Queensland with a big national ambition.
