Success for Y Gymnasts

Congratulations to four Toby Wells gymnasts who competed in this year's YMCA Nationals, held June 28 – July 3 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Betsy Armitage, Lauren Arnett, Whitney Burke and Annelise Bauer represented our Y at this annual event, which featured more than 75 YMCA’s from around the United States and over 3,000 gymnasts throughout the weekend. Next year the competition will be held in Savannah, Georgia and we will be attending with more kids!

Betsy Armitage is a Level 9 gymnast who competed in the Championship age division. On Saturday, June 30, Betsy qualified 20^th in the prelims and made the top 30 on Day 2 of competition. There were approximately 100 girls in her division. On Day 2 of prelims, Betsy qualified for event finals on Beam, Floor and Vault. On Monday July 2, Betsy placed fourth on vault, eighth on floor and 10^th on beam (out of the 100 gymnasts) and also took eighth place in the All-Around division. Next year will be Betsy’s last year with Mission Valley YMCA before she goes off to college.
