Gymnastics is growing in popularity among boys of all ages as Kieran Culver (from left), Lee Blockberger and Linden Barnett will attest to.

Eight-year-old James Timperley was just hanging around on the rings. Boy, he makes it look so easy.

Coach Nona Belcea knows how to look after her girls. Melody Haymen (from left), Tenesha Turner-Johnson and Natalia Cornado were working out on the trampoline.

Administrator Kay Furness (left) was only too happy to wish long-time gymnastics coach Gladys Hartley a happy 80th birthday.

Thanks to people like this, the club has enjoyed continued success. From left: past president Alison Smith, past president Ken Smith and past VP Gladys Botnen.

Current president David Blythe enjoys seeing his athletes go on to bigger things, as does Patty Leveille. Patty's daughter competed in last year's Olympic games and is now on a scholarship at Stanford university.

Ten-year-old Michele Gannon has been practicing her splits, and her gymnastics, for four years now.

A trip to Texas was in the works this past year for these athletes. From left: Heather Mereniuk, Erin Aldrich and Rikka Tindle.

Working out with your friends is all part of the fun for Melissa Mann (from left), Vanessa Medeiros and Haley Schmitz.

Having some fun with the chalk and the dust was friends Jess Phillips (left) and Courtney Szabo.

Their the senior members in the club and next year they're off to university, hopefully on a scholarship. From left: Carla Chambers, Yuki Sudo and Kayla Glover.

A couple of backbends from twelve-year-old Erin Robertson (left) and ten-year-old Caitlin Ratz gave me a new perspective on things.
