September 2008 - Athletes of the month

Tumbling: Rachel Sicard

The last 6 months of the previous competitive season did not go well for Rachel. She spent most of January to August battling a "balking" issue that disabled her chances in competing in nearly every competition held last year. Since August however she seems to have turned a new leaf! This month she learned new passes for Level B (a new level for her) as well as many new skills including a 1.5 twist on rod floor and double back on trampoline. She is finally tumbling like we all know she can and for that we applaud her!

Trampoline: Jelisa Joncas

The month of September has been great for Jelisa. She has overcome a lot of fears and has started putting a great deal of work into learning back fulls and Rudy's. Although these two skills have been her nemesis in the past, she now seems to be determined to master them! Great Job Jelisa!

DMT: Michael Zeuner

Michael began training DMT the first week in September and is progressing steadily with every practice! He has gone from no experience to a Provincial A level athlete within four weeks due to his great work ethic, attitude in the gym and willingness to learn. At this rate it would be no surprise if he reached a National level come January. Way to go Michael!
