Haley Woodyard and Ava Winking competed at Regionals for Gem City and as members of the Illinois Regionals Team. Haley placed 2nd on balance beam and 7th on vault. They are coached by Jacob Huff, Hope Huff, Kiki Backoff, and Damon Wilson. We are proud of both girls for making it so far this season!
Ava Winking and Haley Woodyard qualified for the Regionals competition and the Regional Level 8 team after strong performances at USAG‘s Level 8 State Championship. They will compete at Regionals this weekend, April 21-22, in Akron, Ohio.
Gem City’s Level 8 gymnasts are wrapping up the season strong. Two of the three will advance to Regionals, and another battled an injury and a big move across the country to qualify for State. Congratulations to Level 8 athletes! 🎉 We are so proud of your accomplishments, and love the energy the three bring each and every time they are in the gym.
Three of Gem City’s Level 8 gymnasts will head to the USAG State Championship in Sycamore, Illinois, on March 23-25.
Our Level 4 and Level 5 girls represented their team well at State this past weekend! 🎉 We are so proud of all their hard work and dedication. 🤸♂️ Congratulations on a great season, ladies!
Level 4 and Level 5 gymnastics teams had a great meet season with 10 athletes in Level 4 and four athletes in Level 5 advancing for State Competitions. Both State meets will take place from March 9-11 in Bloomington, Illinois, at the Redbird Arena at Illinois State University.
Gem City welcomes all new and returning athletes to a new class session and 2018! The 2018 Spring Session starts today and we’re excited to see all the new and familiar faces. This is a great time to reflect on the last year and on what you or your child learned and accomplished in gym. It’s also the perfect time for goal-setting for the upcoming year!
Before the 2017-2018 competition seasons for gymnastics, tumbling, and all star cheer gets too busy, Shelly Kraemer of SK Photography took team photos. She has taken Gem City’s photos for the last six years.
We had so much fun celebrating National Gymnastics Day last week at Gem City! Whether it’s teaching a cartwheel or a double-back dismount off of bars, our coaches love this sport and are thankful you let them teach you all about gymnastics and tumbling.
We often hear: “I wish I would have done gymnastics as a kid.” But an active lifestyle shouldn’t stop because you’re not a child anymore.
