Hong Gen Wang Team Challenge On Sunday the 26 th of August BTYC hosted the first ever Hong Gen Wang Team Challenge. The event was a different kind of competition which included mascots, crowd participation awards, fancy dress, cool team names and L sit and Handstand competitions.

BTYC had 39 level 1 4 athletes compete and for some, including Team Ryan, it was there very first competition. Well done guys. All you re hard work over the year, developing your new skills and putting routines together has paid off. BTYC picked up a number of team and individual awards for their excellent gymnastics. We are all very excited for the rest of the season. BTYC s Full Results: Level 1 Open Team 3rd All Around Adam Fan 5th All Around. 1st H Bar. 3rd Pommel. 4th Floor & Rings. 5th Vault & P Bars.

Lachlan and Campbell McConnell When not at gymnastics, Lachlan and Campbell McConnell can often be found on their bikes (or unicycles). Last year they focused on road racing, and this year focussed on cyclocross. Cyclocross racing combines the skinny wheels and speed of road racing, and the mud and obstacles of mountain biking. It s been a successful year with lots of podium finishes. They raced U15 Men s at the National Championships too- Campbell came in 6th and Lachlan is now National Champion. Well done guys, this is a massive achievement. If any of our other athletes have had success in another sport or hobby please let me know because I d love to be able to share them.

14 Gymnast of the month: Team Hannah (Foundation): Marie Stylianou - Although Marie struggled with forward rolls on bars, she has overcome this fear by never giving up and persevering during the year. I am so proud of how far she has come! Keep up the great work Marie. Team Zoe (Foundation): Matilda Thompson Matilda is always putting in her best efforts in all classes to fix corrections and focus hard during skills Team Bianca (Foundation): Leah Boulos Leah has been an exceptional gymnast working hard on her skills and focusing on her coaches during training. Keep up the good work! Team Jess: Vicky Lu, for having the highest attendance in our class! She has only missed one session over the whole year which shows her dedication and willingness to learn. Well done! Team Alysha (ALP 2): Amber Lau, Amber has continued to develop in the WAG program ensuring she applies corrections and remembers them for the following session. Great work Amber Team Cassie (ALP 2): Eden Willis, for always putting her best effort into class and trying her hardest to fix corrections throughout her skills. Team Bridget (ALP 3): Leila Kirk, for continually asking for help, feedback and genuinely trying her hardest to implement the corrections. Actively trying to improve her skills is a great trait to have. Keep it up Leila! Team Karen (ALP 4): Ella Wilson has shown great self-motivation the last couple of months continuing to train and attend competitions as a support for her team, despite her ongoing injuries. She turns up everyday with a smile on her face and is always looking for more things to do to improve herself. Ella is also a very kind and considerate person, almost always being the first to congratulate a team member on their achievements. Thanks for being such a positive member of our team Ella! Team Bridget (ALP 4-6): Cara O Hearn, for using her manners after every class and saying thank you. No matter which coach took her that day or for what apparatus, she was respectful enough to acknowledge them. She has come a long way in her respect for others. Thankyou Cara! Team Cassie (ALP 5/6): Allyce Sturge, for working extremely hard this year to achieve new skills and improving her routines ready for competition Team Alysha (Senior): Emily Okalyi- Emily has worked extremely hard attending every training session with confidence. Emily in particular has worked hard on her press to handstand mount and clear hip circles on bars. Keep up the hard work. Team Josh (Senior): Megan McLean Megan has shown continued enthusiasm towards getting her handstand skill into her Bars routine. Great work :) Alysha Browne WAG Program Manager

15 TRAMPOLINE AND TUMBLING TRAMPOLINE AND TUMBLING competition at EKGA Sunday 26 th August This month some of BTYC s Tramp and Tumble team headed over to EKGA for their second competition of the season.

Ned competed in Level 1 Tramp and placed 1 st AA as well as Level 1 Double Mini Tramp and placed 1 st AA. Jordan competed in Level 4 Double Mini Tramp and placed 1 st AA as well as Level 3S Tumbling and placed 1 st AA. Kaylee competed in Level 2 Tumbling and placed 2 nd AA.
