OKEHAMPTON Flyers Gym, Trampoline and DMT Club had an excellent day at the southern schools’ zonal trampoline competition in Kent.

The club had ten gymnasts qualify for the southern zonals at the regional schools event in November. Gymnasts represented their school in novice, intermediate and elite grades with the chance to qualify for the national schools final in Eastleigh in Hampshire.

The Okehampton Flyers’ gymnasts performed excellent routines with Eliza Luke, Faye Hooper, Mason Parker-Groves and Adam Hazucha achieving podium places in the novice grade and qualifying for the national schools final to be held in March.

Also in the novice grade, Tabitha Weaver achieved 12th place with Bethan Honey and Miya Porter taking fourth and sixth place in the intermediate grade and Arran Stannard-Heap and Madison Vine coming fourth and sixth in the elite grade.

The club’s head coach, Vicki Pritchard, said: ‘Well done to all of our gymnasts for achieving high scores in some tough classes.’

The club is now looking forward to the national schools and South West regionals in February and March in addition to the English and FIG national competitions.
