The local gym won in the senior level 3 division against strong competition. They earned 68 out of a possible 73 points for 94.42% perfection. This competition, held Jan. 25-26, was their first of the season.
The exhibitions of their skills include routines set to high-energy music with stunts and tumbling including walkovers, handsprings, round-offs and tucks. The young athletes practice at least six hours a week at California Gold Gymnastics in Paso Robles.
