Australian Nationals Junior and Senior International- Results!
Australian National Championships 2024 is off to an amazing start! Our Junior and Senior International athletes competed this weekend at the competition in Queensland as part of the Victorian team.
While competing for the Victorian Junior International Team, Haylee and Alice showed fierce determination throughout the weekend. Haylee debuted a new vault and showed some great work with this.
This was Alice's first time in the Junior International division and she had some great performances!
Haylee placed second on vault and bars, third on beam, and was named the Australian Champion on floor. Alice was named Australian Champion on bars. Way to go girls!
Romi, Breanna and Emily, competing for the Victorian Senior International Team, showed a focused consistency that led them to team and personal victories. Breanna was named the Australian Champion on beam and medaled on bars. Emily placed second on bars and floor. Amazing job to the girls!
Unfortunately, Romi sustained a re-injury to her ACL cutting her weekend short. Her performance was absolutely beautiful and brilliant, helping Team Victoria secure the gold. Our hearts go out to Romi and her family at this time as we send her all our love and support.
In addition to the Junior and Senior levels, Waverley's Head Coach, John Hart, was inducted into the Gymnastics Australia Hall of Fame this weekend. John was recognised for his significant achievements and incredible contribution to WAG gymnasts in Australia. Way to go, John!
We also want to wish Matilda B loads of luck on her second day competing. Matilda had a great first day competing as one of 51 gymnasts in Level 10s, 17 and Over division.
The competition continues this week with Levels 8-10 competition and we look forward to those results soon!
