Telluride Gymnastics had a fantastic year. Four athletes on the team qualified for the Xcel Region 3 Regional Championships in Hot Springs, Arkansas and Universal City, Texas, competing against gymnasts from seven other states. Vivian Black, of Telluride Intermediate School, took 4th place on Bars and 3rd on Floor in the Gold Level. Ember Blair from the Norwood School District also competed in the Gold Level, earning one of her highest All-Around scores to date. Liv Kramer, a Telluride High School student, was Colorado's State Champion this year. Kramer competed in Regionals at the Platinum Level, taking 2nd on Bars, 4th on Floor, tying for 5th on Vault, and earning 5th All-Around. Abigail Mann, another Telluride High School student, competed with Liv in the Platinum Level and took 4th on Floor, 5th on Beam, tied for 5th on Vault, and also came in 5th All-Around. Congratulations to these athletes on a successful season.
