Gymnastics misga
SJS hosted the Midlands Independent Schools Gymnastics Championships over the weekend, with the youngest competitors on the Saturday and older ones on the Sunday. There were over 200 gymnasts competing at the event.Stamford entered 9 teams into the event and every single Stamford competitor performed with confidence and determination to achieve some fantastic results.The Under 9 Novice team finished in second place, as did the U9 Advanced team. The Senior Advanced Boys team deserve a special mention as the team consisted of 2 Senior boys (Y7 and Y8) and 2 Junior boys (Y6 and a tiny Y3).The Under 7 girls won their section as did the U8 girls and they were crowned MISGA 2022 Team Champions of their age groups.The U13 Girls team also won their section with some stunning performances, and the U19 Girls proved a force to be reckoned with and also won their section. The U10 Advanced team were ‘on fire’ and won their section with a considerable lead over their rivals.On top of the wonderful team success, our gymnasts also won a number of individual medals but 5 gymnasts are worth a particular mention as they were crowned individual champions.The event also marked the end of an era for Bella Plant, who is in Y13 and she was presented with some flowers. Bella first competed at this event as an U7 – amazing dedication.
