Swallows’ gymnasts guide Helston Community College to National Finals

The Swallows gymnasts have once again been working hard and were recently competing at the South West School’s  Finals of the Floor and Vault competition in Taunton.

The Under 19 Girl’s Team were up against some very strong opposition, with gymnasts from Ivybridge all top quality gymnasts from the Devon Gymnastic Clubs.  The Girl’s team comprising of Libby Rescorla, Kea Wheat, Dana Wheat, Jessica Woods and Tiegan Wheat finished in overall 3rd place with a top 10 ranking by Libby in the individual girls competition.

In the Mixed Under 14 Team, the college had five gymnasts taking part, and for both Shannon, Matt and Phoebe (Yr 7) their first experience  at this event.  Cameron and Matt both made excellent individual performances taking individual 1st and second places and the team managed the overall top ranking with a fantastic 112.00 over Ivybridge, last year’s National champions at this level.

The young mixed team will now travel with their coaches Ainsti Hickman-Jones, and Choreographer Pat Hickman to the National Finals to be held in Stoke On Trent on Sunday 12 May 2014.

Well done to all our gymnasts and good luck to those representing Helston Commuity College in May.
