Five members of the Surrey Gymnastic Society took flight to Brandon, Manitoba from April 26-29 to compete at the Western Canadian Gymnastics Championships.  The competition had athletes competing from all four Western Provinces and the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

The SGS athletes had some great results as can be seen in the highlights below:

Girls

9-year-old Viktoria Duchesne competed in the Aspire 1 category at her first inter-provincial championships and came away with the All Around Bronze medal.  Duchesne was one of only two girls in her category to place in the top 6 on each of her four competition apparatus; 4th on Bars and Floor, 5th on Beam and 6th on Vault.  Duchesne was also the top ranked BC girl in her category.

 

Boys

Elite 4 – 13-year-old Emanuel Gutierrez Sandoval placed 4th in the All Around competition.  On day 2 of competition, Sandoval competed in five apparatus finals.  He was crowned Elite 4 Western Canadian Vault Champion, took silver on High Bar, bronze on Rings, 5th on Pommel Horse and 6th on Parallel Bars.

Provincial 4 – 11-year-old Carter Baker placed 9th All Around.  On day 2, Baker was crowned the Provincial 4 Western Canadian Floor Champion during apparatus finals.  12-year-old teammate Luke Van Harmelen placed 10th All Around.  His top individual event placing was 11th on Parallel Bars.

Provincial 5 – 14-year-old Muzzammil Taziz placed 14th All Around.  His top apparatus ranking was 7th on Floor.

 

Competitive Program Director, John Carroll said, “I am very proud of all five of the SGS athletes.  This is the highest level of competition these kids could qualify for this season.  Two Apparatus Champions and one gymnast on the All Around podium shows great promise for our program’s future.  I hope it inspires all our competitive kids to see what is possible with hard work and determination.  Hopefully it will also make more kids in our community consider the sport of gymnastics for them.”

Note from Eleanor and George Lenz

The following note was sent to SGS from Eleanor and George Lenz, parents of Carol Lenz for whom our Carol Lenz Memorial Competition is named.  Eleanor and George come to the Invitational every year to see old friends and watch the competition.  They are pictured here with Marilyn and Neil Laughlin who are also very long time friends of SGS.  Our gym is named for Marilyn as she worked here for many years (had an athlete here) and she and Neil were very much involved in the building of this facility.  It is always wonderful to see these two couples!

Hello to you all.

So nice to see you on Saturday and be present at the Competition.  It is so nice that we are always included in this wonderful event to remember Carol.

I was so impressed as I watched the young girls compete on all events, but especially on floor.  The music and choreography this year was so nice to watch.  I could see that the girls also enjoyed the music and their routines.

It appears as though this is the largest meet so far, with over 900 gymnasts, judges, and coaches attending.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if  someone donated funds for a large Gymnastics Facility.

The Surrey Gym Club can be so proud of how much they have grown over these past 40 years.  George and I  wish you success for the next 40 years.

Good job to you all.
Eleanor and George Lenz
