Final Provincial Qualifier

Good luck to all our provincial athletes competing in their final qualifying competition this weekend in St. Catherines!!  They are all hoping to move on to Ontario Championships in April!!!  Go Oakville!!!

Chicago Tour

With all the excitement from the Canada Games we nearly forgot to mention Nikki and Melissa's excellent adventure to Chicago! 

The girls qualified back in November at Tour Selection to represent Ontario in Chicago at The 2011 IGI Chicago Style Meet which, according to their website is the largest invitational in the world.  It has also been selected as an official invitational meet for the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup Series. 

Held at the historic Navy Pier, athletes travelled from all over the US, Canada and the world to compete in levels 2 through to Elite.  Nikki and Melissa were in the tough level 10 category.  To make their task even tougher the division they competed in contained athletes of Elite calibre, some of which have competed internationally for the US!!  With such a large amount of girls competing in each level they need to be broken down into divisions.  There were a total of 343 athletes in level 10 alone. 

While the results may not have been what they had hoped for, it is always a great deal of fun to travel and compete as part of a team!  Meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones is probably the best part of all!!  I'm sure both Nikki and Melissa will have some wonderful memories from their trip.
