Three Level 7 Gymnasts Qualify for Illinois State Championship
Three of our Level 7 gymnasts will travele to Bourbonnais, Illinois, March 20–23 to compete at the Level 7 Illinois State Gymnastics Championship. It’s a well-earned stage for a trio that has been competing across Illinois and Missouri since December.
Each athlete earned an All-Around score of at least 34.50 during the regular season to qualify for this meet, which also serves as a qualifying event for Regionals in Fort Wayne, Indiana, April 17–19.
Our three qualifiers have balanced year-round training four to five times a week alongside schoolwork, social lives, and family commitments. That kind of consistency over a full season — through up to five invitationals — reflects genuine dedication to the sport and to each other as teammates.
Gymnastics team coaches include Jacob Huff, Hope Huff, Sarah Shumake, and Rylee Mellon. You can read more about Gem City’s gymnastics program and find our meet schedule here.
