NOVICE COMPETITION
 APRIL
 

Sunday 6th April 2008 saw Olga's 3rd Novice Trampoline Competition.  Ages ranged from 5-17, with Oliver Simonot and Alice Waring taking their third consecutive gold medals in their respective groups.  In the U7 Grade 7 girls Sophie Hayes just pipped last year's winner, Olivia Cahill, to take gold with Leila Jade Stimpson in 3rd.  In the boys event Bradley Rockett took gold, Luke Evans silver and Ethan Broom 3rd.  The U9 Grade 7 girls' group were all taking part in their very first competition.  The winner, Sasha Hanham has only been trampolining since March!  Silver and Bronze were taken by Jazmine and Mollie Thorpe (a family affair!!!).  Daniel Noble took gold and Owen Miller silver in the boys' U9 Grade 7 event.  Again the U13 Girls Grade 7 event saw many competitors who have only been jumping for a very short time, Lily Hargan took Gold, Jazmine Mason Silver and Agata Kawalec Bronze.  The U13 Grade 7 Boys title was taken by Michael Matthews.  A high standard was shown in both the U9 Grade 6 Girls' and Boys' events with Isabelle Evans taking gold by 4.5 marks, Kaylee Jemison took silver and Chloe Haynes bronze; Oliver Simonot won the boys title by 5.4 marks, Jacob Wiener was 2nd and Tyler Humby 3rd.  The U11 Grade 6 Girls event saw 3 members, Hannah Hewitt, Coral Burgess & Cassie Parker, who have been training at Ferndown jump exceedingly well, with Hannah Hewitt taking gold, Holly Woollard silver and Tiffany Crayton bronze.  The boys' event was hard fought for silver and bronze with Kieron Gibson and Jordan Mackenzie scoring exactly the same mark, but on countback rules Jordan took silver, Kieron bronze and James Rockett took gold.  Not to let her younger sister be the only one to take home a medal, Amelia Jemison performed 2 good routines to take silver in the U11 Grade 5 Novice Girls, with Kalikah Stephens taking bronze and Aimee Leaver winning gold.  The U15 Grade 5 Novice Mixed event was a very close event with only 0.1 separating gold and silver, final result was; Lucy Short 1st, Kayleigh Cull 2nd and Kathryn De Lorey 3rd.  Special mention must go to Charlie Songhurst who performed a new routine twice and took 6th place.
 
Another close event was the U9 Grade 5 Girls with only 0.6 separting the top 5.  Robyn Archer took bronze, Katie Owen silver and Lucy Anderson gold.  James Leaver was the gold medalist in the U9 Grade 5 Boys event.  In the U11 Grade 5 Girls, Lauren Tyler amazed all her coaches by performing 2 fantastic routines to take the gold, Emma Marjason 2nd and Estelle Gleave 3rd.  Winner of the U15 Grade 5 Mixed event was Chloe Metcalfe with James Belchamber 2nd and Amelia Clayton Taylor 3rd.  This competition is also an opportunity for our more seasoned Grade 4,3&2 competitors to practice their routines prior to their next Grading competition.  Gold medal winners were Catherine Belchamber, Matthew Walker, Scott Francis, Keelan Stringer and Chloe Wiener.  The synchro event is again for more seasoned comeptitors, but for some synchro is still a fairly new event.  Group 1 saw some of our youngest and least experienced competitors taking part, Madeline Songhurst & Katie Owen took bronze, Leah Matthews & Tyler Nicole Graham silver and George Gibbs & Keelan Stringer taking gold.  Group 2 synchro saw a battle for gold with Chloe Wiener & Megan Lowe in 1st place after the first routine, but Sophie Haynes & Sophie Edroff performed an excellent 2nd routine to take the gold title, Chloe & Megan silver and Becky Dechow & Catherine Belchamber took bronze.  Group 3 synchro was dominated by the boys!!!!  Jason Ryall & Ryan Stickland were 3rd, Jordan George & Joe McAdam 2nd and Joe Berry and Joshua Read 1st.
 
Again all the children were split into 3 teams with 3 coaches as team captains; Jodi - White Team, Hannah - Blue Team & Brian - Red Team.  Pride as always was at stake, with both Brian and Jodi having both won in the previous 2 Novice competitions.  Final results saw Jodi taking her 2nd title, with Hannah 2nd and Brian 3rd.
