Strong showing for CR gymnasts in Surrey

The Carol Lenz Memorial classic and Surrey invitational took place March 6th-8th.  Campbell River sent 5 athletes to this competition.  The athletes had a strong competition bringing home 3 All Around Champions and all 5 athletes had podium finishes.

Brooklyn Batch connected a shoot over to free hip for the first time on bars, Janika Scriba connected a clear hip circle to toe on front dismount for the first time off bars as well.

Ksenia Stansell added a front tuck to back handspring connection on beam for the first time.

Owen Harbo competed his blind change on high bar successfully for the first time.

This competition also acted as 2nd trials to Canadian Championships for Carson Ogg.  Carson finished in 2nd place and his All Around score was good enough to qualify for funding to the Canadian Championships.  His final trials to Canadians will be at the Provincial Championships in April which will then finalize the team to Canadians.

Congrats to all the athletes!  Below are all the competition results.
