Gymsport Competitions

On Tuesday the 18 June the year 7 and 8 gymnasts represented Tauriko School at the gymsports competitions at ARGOS, in the Flyers and Twisters divisions. They had all been training very hard for one lunchtime a week, since the beginning of the year.

Each gymnast completed a floor, vault and beam routine. There were many girls from all parts of Tauranga and Rotorua competing at this event. Chloe Smith finished a superb 7th in the Flyers division. Strong performances were completed by Keilani Worthen, Brooke James, Charlotte and Leah Mackinnon.
