More than 40 Nelson gymnasts have returned home with a pile of medals and awards from two different competitions his past weekend.
Thirty-seven girls travelled to Cranbrook for the Key City Invitational, competing against teams from all across the Kootenays and Alberta. Nelson’s Glacier Gymnastics Club brought back the second place team award, finishing just behind the Key City Team from Cranbrook.
In Surrey, five Nelson boys went to one of the most popular and competitive boy’s competitions in BC.
The following are the results from both events.
