This Weekend Gatwick Flyers had a fabulous weekend at the first National Qualifying Event of 2012!

National C - U15G Emma Richardson in her first National Event ever finished 20th out of 53 and qualified for the National Finals. U17G - Maddy Perkin finished 9th out of 41 and got a promotional offer to Fig B, which she will take up at Bath at the end of February. U17B - Edward Weeden finished 7th (made the finals) out of 15 and qualified for National Finals. 19+ Ladies - Gemma Osborne finished 13th out of 39 and qualified for the National Finals.

Fig B - U17G - Sally Stevens and Victoria Bramble finished 5th & 6th respectively out of 21. Both girls have qualified for the National Finals in July. Sally also had the highest Time of Flight in the whole group in all 3 rounds.

Synchro - Victoria Bramble and Sally Stevens finished in 6th place and gained 3 points.

Fig B DMT - Gemma Osborne narrowly missed DMT qualification to National Finals, but I am sure she will make it in Bath as it was only a foot outside the landing area that made this happen.

Quote from Head Coach, Jacqui Gevaux: "The club has had a great weekend. The pressure is now off everyone and they can concentrate on working towards working on the routines they wish to perform at the Finals in July. I am very proud of all the hard work that everyone has been put in to achieve this. There is a lot more to come from all performers and this makes it all the more exciting".
