Gymnast from Cooroy Gymnastics Club excelled at this week’s Queensland Junior State Championships on the Gold Coast.
The event was held over four days at the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre where gymnasts from all over Queensland competed for state titles. This year the club had 11 gymnasts qualify, some for the first time.
The Queensland State Championships also includes the Regional Challenge where selected gymnasts qualify to represent their region which provided a great chance to represent the Sunshine Coast.
Cooroy Gymnastics Club came away with three State Championship titles including the women’s level 4 all around trophy and 11 top three podium places in all. Cooroy also had four gymnasts representing the Sunshine Coast, Neve, Zayden, Khan and Dermott. The level 3 men’s team finished first while the level 4 women’s team came in third.
