WAGS - Day 2

Sean Robertson delivered huge today to place 6th in the men's 15/16 tumbling final! Sean scored a season best score in prelims and followed it up with an even higher finals score! It was a great performance!

Rebecca Zachar also nailed her two passes to palce 16th in the women's 15/16 competition. This is just another great and consistent performance for her!

Great job Sean and Rebecca!

WAGS - Day 1

Alicia Russell placed 10th in the 13/14 Tumbling category. Alicia scored a season high 60.5 and was Canada's highest finisher!

Congratulations Alicia for cracking into the Worlds Top 10!!

2010 World Championships

Our own Emily Smith placed 8th in the World Championships last week in Metz, France! This is the second consecutive year that Emily earns herself a spot in the final. A very impressive result for an athlete who 6 months ago wasn't in the sport.

She is already focused on next season and what will be required to climb even higher! Congratulations Emily!

Tumbling: - Riley Scott

Riley is in her first season with us at the Burlington B.G.'s! October was a month of growth for this young lady. She grew more talkative, more powerful, more aggressive and most importantly more confident! We are excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for her! Way to go Riley!
