Gymnasts from Cook County traveled to Duluth on December 12 to meet other gymnasts and to take part in some fun training. Carefully watching a Duluth instructor (in foreground) are (L-R) Emma Crook, Claire Lindstrom, Elsa Sorenson and Anna Hay.
The Cook County Community YMCA is a busy place with youths swimming, log rolling, dancing and now studying gymnastics. A group of 11 Cook County gymnasts and their families headed to the Woodland Gymnastics Facility in Duluth on December 12 for a fun-filled event.
The girls spent the evening practicing routines on the uneven bars, balance beam, and vault. They also got to watch a show put on by the Duluth Area Family YMCA Ariel competitive gymnastics team and spend time with the girls to learn a floor routine.
Families camped out on the mats and watched a gymnastics film. The girls woke up the next morning to practice some more and then hosted a mini inner-squad meet. Each gymnast performed two vaults, a floor routine, a routine on the beam and a demonstration of skills on the bars.
“The girls had so much fun, they have all accomplished so much since September,” said parent Sarah Hallberg.
Little gymnasts— and cousins— Ella Hallberg and MaTaya Fairbanks had a wonderful time at the gymnastics event in Duluth.
