Good weekend at Regionals
This past weekend, nine athletes from St. Louis Elite made the journey to Highland, IN to compete at the USAG Region IV Trampoline and Tumbling Regional Championships. The team brought home five gold, four silver, and three bronze medals.
St. Louis Elite’s 2008 Regional Champions are (in alphabetical order):
- Natalie Altis: Trampoline (Level 6)
- Henry Baer:Trampoline (Level 9), Double Mini (Level 8), Tumbling (Level 7)
- Clayton Janvrin: Trampoline (Level 7)
In addition to being Regional Champion on Trampoline, Henry Baer also won a spot on the Regional All-Star Team for trampoline. The Regional All-Stars are normally Level 10 athletes, but because there are no Region IV Level 10 trampolinists in Henry’s age group, his victory on trampoline earned him the spot on the All-Stars team.
“The team did a fantastic job at the competition against challenging opponents,” said head coach Eric Miller. “Henry will be our third Regional All-Star in three years, which is very exciting!”
The final competition of the season for St. Louis Elite will be the 2008 Junior Olympic National Championships in Kansas City, Missouri. Eleven athletes from St. Louis Elite will be competing for national titles to finish off an exciting and successful season.
