Spalding Gymnastics Club’s girls star at county championship

The girls from Spalding Gymnastics Club came home from the county championships (level six and seven) with an impressive haul of medals.

All of the Spalding talents were competing in their respective age groups and were bidding to qualify for the next level.

In the seven years age group, Ruby White excelled by winning the overall title – while also picking up individual medals on bars (gold) and beam (bronze) and fourth on floor and vault.

In the eight years category, Faith Slayven was seventh, Poppy Payne took 19th and Sophie Morgan was 20th.

The nine years age group had Maribel Loy winning the gold medal with the highest score of the day. That also saw her become county level seven champion, having collected gold on beam and bronze on floor.

Also competing was Naihya Trotter, who grabbed gold on floor and fourth on beam, while Gabby Wilson won silver on floor and bronze on vault.

Those two joined Loy in giving Spalding gymnasts first, second and third overall at county level seven.

Also competing in this age group were Sienna Bailey and Leah Crowder, who finished sixth and seventh respectively.

Meanwhile in the ten years age group, Spalding had Hannah Lessiter in fifth, Megan Sieling sixth, Tullulah Stamp seventh, Meghan Clarke tenth and Liberty Walkland in 15th.
