Cooroy gymnasts Polly Boyd and Leah Wilson have made history for the Cooroy Gymnastics Club, being the first female senior athletes to represent Queensland.
Polly and Leah recently represented the state at the Border Challenge event held in Caloundra where the girls competed against teams from NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia in level 8.
The Queensland team won the team event, where Polly placed third all around, with Leah in fourth. Polly excelled on the uneven bars, winning gold and Leah took out the bronze medal on vault.
The senior members of the club now look forward to 2025, while the junior members are geared up for their pinnacle event, the Junior State Championships in September.
