Posted by admin | Posted in Teams | Posted on 03/15/2009
The NGTC Girls Optional Team, with help from a Level 5 Standout captured the team title and several individual titles at the Shamrock Invitiational. The event, hosted by The GymNest in Hillsboro, OR on March 14 included teams from around the region.
NGTC won the combined score format (counting the top-3 scores from each event.
Perhaps most impressively, the girls did it with only 6 girls. While most teams had 15 or more to pick the 3 best scores, NGTC did it with only 6.
Kirsten Smith and Kelsey Harner were both individual all-around champions at Level 7. Peyton Sylvester won the all-around for Level 5 with 36.15!

NOTES: Megan Townley injured her right ankle and possibly knee during the floor exercise. It is unknown the extent of her injury but our thoughts are with her and her family as she recovers… We certainly hope and her injuries aren’t serious and long-lasting. A true winner, Megan stayed on the floor and watched each of the remaining two events, then joined the team at Red Robin dinner after the victory, bag of ice firmly tied to her ankle.
