In the afternoon, seven of The Academy's gymnasts took to the floor. In the Level 4, 9 years age group, April Maslen, Libby Lockett and Imogen Chan all competed. These gymnasts are only 8 and they all put in excellent performances. Libby Lockett who went clean on all pieces, fought of stiff competition from over 60 gymnasts to place fourth, a great achievement!

The top individual placing did not stop there. In the Level 4, 10/11 age group, ten year old Hollie Moore made a few mistakes and still managed to place 6th overall and performed a beautiful bar routine to come 2nd on that piece. Jessica Pointon put in a clean performance and placed fifth overall, top scoring vault.
