3 qualify for National Schools Finals

Isabelle Eason, Edward Beale and Chloe Billam all qualified for the National Schools Finals in March this year. This is the highest number of gymnasts to qualify from Soar Valley in one year. The gymnasts had to qualify through both regional and zonal rounds to reach the national finals.

The finals competition took us to The Kings School in Macclesfield. In the Years 1-6 boy’s Novice event Edward competed brilliantly and finished in second place. In the Years 1-6 girl’s Novice event Isabelle also competed brilliantly and finished third in a very strong field. Chloe, in her first year of competitions was thrilled to be competing and soaked up the atmosphere. She completed all her routines cleanly to finish in 13th place.
