Haven Swarts competed her finals passes, performing both of her new skills: 2 and 1/2 twist and double back tuck.
Savannah Wepf put in a better pair of pass on Day 2 landing her full in back out tuck with ease.
Jack McGarr pulled his double layout around to capture a silver medal on his first finals pass. Though he did not receive a medal for his second final round tumbling pass he delivered a solid double pike to finish out a strong overall performance in Stoke.
Dezember Treleaven found it hard to find the rhythm of the floor on day 2 but due to a small field of competitors captured another 2 silver medals.
Ben Senior was a stand out success at the 2012 British Open landing all four passes and competing double open tuck to double pike and all whips to full-out tuck without hesitation on both days. Ben captured a silver medal for this double to double pass and a bronze for his straight to full-out pass.
The Brits are known for being some of the best tumblers in the World and the 2012 British Open was no exception with the 11-12, 13-14 and 15-16 Age Group categories all having some exceptional talent.
Thank you to British Gymnastics for letting us participate in such a great competition. This event also features Acrobatic Gymnastics which kept everyone entertained in between the tumbling runs.
Connie Robinson, formerly of the OGC Tumbling program moved back to the UK in the fall of 2011 and came to visit us at the competition. She is doing well, still tumbling and developing her English accent. All the best to her as she moves to the National level in the UK and hopefully we will have an opportunity to compete against her in the future.
