10 MGC Girls took to the competiton arena at the 2018 Greater Manchester Grades, at Robin Park in Wigan. It was a very long weekend but this did not stop the MGC girls from producing many outstanding routines across every piece of apparatus.
For 4 of our younger gymnasts (Maisie Leach, Ayelynne Johnson, Thea Fitzsimons and Poppy James) this was their first real 4 piece competition but they were shining brightly on every throughout the entire competition. Well done to Poppy James who placed 2nd Overall in her group.
Congratulations to Isabelle Atkinson who placed 3rd overall in her age group and is now a member of the 2018 Greater Manchester County Team and will go on compete in the finals in March.
There were lots of great individual apparatus performances with many top 10 placing (below) and all of the MGC Girls passed their grades with 3 achieving distinctions and 6 receiving Commendations.
Well done to you all.
