Rising Stars Gymnastics Academy

The weekend of April 9^th-April 11^th was the State Championship for our Level 4 gymnasts. Sadly, due to an exposure to Covid-19, the majority of our gymnasts were unable to compete at the meet.

Hattie S. proudly represented Rising Stars and the Level 4 team at the State Meet. She won 9^th place on the uneven bars, scoring an 8.75, which was her highest score of the competition! Congratulations, Hattie!

Our Level 4 gymnasts have shown a tremendous amount of grace and good sportsmanship in this disappointing situation. They had an awesome season, including winning 1^st place at both the Gopher Invite and the Rising Stars Invitational! Several of the Level 4s achieved high scores in both individual events and in the all-around. Our coaches, staff, and all the Level 4s’ family members are proud of the hard work and dedication the Level 4s have put into their competition season.

As the Level 4 team shifts their focus and energy to preparing for next season, we congratulate our Level 4s on a wonderful season and look forward to watching them compete next year!
