Priory Girls Impress with Skill and Style at South Ribble Championships 

Eight Priory gymnasts took part in the annual South Ribble Gymnastics Competition on Thursday, 29 January held at Worden Academy. 

The girls were entered into the advanced category for their age group as they train over two hours a week at their local clubs. The competition consisted of two events, floor and vault. 

On floor, the girls had to create their own routine compiled of six skills they could execute to a high standard, being judged on their control, fluency and competency of these skills.  On vault, they had a selection of four types to choose from. 

The girls came away with some great success -

Year 7 Heather L was awarded 1st on floor with a routine demonstrating a high level of skill including an aerial and cartwheel to back handspring. Heather also came 2nd in vault alongside Year 9’s Imogen C who also took the silver medal position with a controlled and handspring vault. 

PE Teacher, Miss Beesley, thanked all the girls who competed, and added, “All eight gymnasts represented Priory with outstanding skill and maturity. Their routines were executed with confidence and control, and the results speak for themselves. It was wonderful to see their training pay off on the day. Congratulations to every one of them.”
