My daughter is one of the gymnast that competed in this meet this past weekend. I am proud of the team and wanted to get the word out to the FM neighbors.
"These girls sure have come a long way since starting their new level in September. In only seven months they have become top caliber gymnasts at their level in Texas. Sometimes they compete against girls who have been at this level for many years and they are holding their own and in fact coming out as the winner against some much more expierienced gymnasts," said Kevin Bates a Team Coach and Director of Gymnastics at Excite.
