Gymnasts perfecting their routines for competitions over next two months

Members of the Kincardine Klassics Gymnastics Club are perfecting their routines in anticipation of competitions running this month and April.

There are 26 athletes on the team under the direction of Megan Alers, Jenn Prenger and Belle Wilson. The athletes train five to 11 hours per week and travel to competitions throughout Ontario in Levels 1-6. Team practices include conditioning, flexibility, element practice and routines.

The club held a mini-meet March 4, for the competitive girls. The purpose of this event was to prepare the athletes for the competitions in March and April. At the meet, the girls performed routines on all apparatus: vault, bars, beam and floor.
