Foothills Gymnastics Academy (FGA) participated in the 2022 Coastal Classic on March 3rd and 4th in Myrtle Beach, SC. The team did amazing against teams from 19 different states! Hadley Pereira and Aria Springs represented FGA at the AAU Xcel bronze level. Genevieve Ard, ScottLynn Whiteside and Kylie Whitinger participated at the AAU Xcel Gold level.

She earned her highest beam score this season and has raised her all-around score in each competition.

 

In terms of FGA’s gold team, Genevieve tied for first place all-around even after someone ran out in front of her during her first vault; she shook it off and recovered like a champion getting her highest vault score of the season! She received 36.975 all-around from her 1st place on vault with 9.35, 2nd place on beam with 9.225, tied for 2nd on floor with 9.25 and tied for fourth on the bar with 9.15.

Kylie pushed through every routine; even with having six rips on each hand, she showed the strength it takes to be a gymnast! She got 35.075 all-around from her 8.9 on beam, 8.825 on bar, 8.8 on floor and 8.550 on vault. 

 

For Xcel platinum, Sherlyn walked away as a coastal queen, meaning she had the highest score out of everyone in her session! Sherlyn earned 1st place all-around with 37.525 from her 1st on bars with 9.525, 1st on beam with 9.45, 1st on floor with 9.425 and 2nd on floor with 9.125.
