This year marks a first for Windhill21, it was the first time as a school that this competition had been represented by our pupils and we had an abundance of talent to choose from. With two teams selected and a lot of hard work and practice under their belts the children were ready for the competition.
Six teams in total entered from four different schools, the skill level was a big step up from the Year 3 & 4 competition and nerves were evident from all the competitors. Each child had to perform either a straddle vault, through vault or squat on with tuck jump off and a floor routine comprising of cartwheels, balances, handstands, headstands, round offs and back walkovers to name a few.
Each gymnast performed with composure, strength, co-ordination and determination to do their absolute best. These performances were rewarded with fantastic results.
Windhill21 Team 2 had the best all around floor performances of the day, their routine difficulty scores were slightly lower than the other teams due to skills they opted for in their routines. However, this not deter them they secured an exceptional 3rd place on floor meaning they were close to all performing perfect score floor routines, this is an exceptional achievement when the majority of this team comprising of school gymnasts with no club or competition experience yet were competing against children with vast club and competition experience. The team overall came 4th with only a 0.4 points difference between 3rd place. What an exceptional results for this team.
Congratulations must go to Windhill21 Team 1 who won both the floor and were joint first on vault securing the overall win for this competition. Precision vaulting and flawless floor routines secured this well deserved result. You should all be immensely proud of your achievements.
