Ivybridge Community College Gymnasts have returned from the first post-COVID-19 Gymnastics Competition with a series of individual and team titles.

The College’s Gymnasts, who were competing at the SW Schools Floor and Vault Championships in Bideford, in February, brought home 19 medals, including 10 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze.

Six teams through to National Finals

Held at Kingsley School in Bideford, six Ivybridge Community College teams took gold.  Winning their way through to the finals in Stoke-on-Trent in May, are:

• Under 19 Girls’ ‘A’ Team
• Under 19 Mixed Team
• Under 19 Boys’ Team
• Under 14 Girls’ ‘A’ Team
• Under 14 Boys’ Team
• Under 14 Mixed Team

In addition to the team successes, there was also individual success, with Chloe C taking the Under 19 Girls’ overall title, Jon O and Ben B jointly taking the Boys’ Under 19 overall title, Megan W taking the Under 14 Girls’ overall title, and Herbert B taking the Under 14 Boys’ overall title.

“This is the first competition that our Gymnasts have been in since February 2019,” said Helen Reddy, Director of Enrichment and Sports Academy, “so it is wonderful to be competing and giving our students the opportunity to perform again.  We didn’t have any expectations, but we are thrilled with the results and are looking forward to our students competing in the National Finals in May.  Despite setbacks over the past two years, we have six strong teams representing the College, so there is every possibility of them achieving national success too.”
