THE gymnasts from The Academy were again out in force, to show they are in fact, the best in the south-west.

This competition is also used as a trial to select the South-West team for the forthcoming age group finals.

In the Voluntary Level 4 category, Ellie Haberfield was sixth, Madeline Hartnoll fifth, Phoebe Turner won the silver medal and Eloise Aitken won the gold. All girls were selected to travel and represent the South-West at national finals with Ellie being the non-travelling reserve.

Success continued in the Level 3 Category. Imogen Chan took the bronze medal, followed by Libby Lockett with the silver and the champion was April Maslen. Again all girls will represent the South-West at the national finals in November.

With scores from a competition in March and the scores from the voluntaries, Eloise Aitken was crowned South-West Level 4 combined champion and Imogen Chan for a second year was crowned champion at Level 3.

In the Daphne Leeworthy Cup category, Charlotte Bennett, Hollie Moore, Jasmine Reed-Yang and Ruby Harrold competed. Jasmine took the bronze medal and Ruby the silver.
