Y Gymnasts Texas-Bound

Did you know the Westport Weston Family Y has a gymnastics team?

Neither did I.

But 17 girls, ages 5th through 11th grades, are traveling to Fort Worth for a week-long international gymnastics festival.  They’ll compete in a “Gymnastics For All” challenge against teams from Canada, Mexico, Germany and Denmark.

They’ve also been chosen for a special evening event with teams from Guatemala, Australia, Sweden and Switzerland.  And they’ll be part of a Fort Worth street performance, a gala the final evening of competition, and the closing ceremonies.

Go get ’em, girls.  And thanks for providing some Y news that does not split the Westport community in half.
