Six Palisadians from Broadway Gymnastic School in Los Angeles recently competed in their first meet of the season and, despite advancing in levels and having only a short time to learn new skills and routines, helped lead their school to victory. Broadway gymnasts collected 22 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 24 bronze medals. In Level 4, local Nicole Gobrieal placed first in the vault, floor excercise and all-around competitions and finished a close second on both the uneven bars and balance beam. Fellow Palisadian Jacqueline Vogel took third place in the uneven bars in Level 4. Palisadian Taylor Slutzker competed in Level 6 for the first time and already made the standards, finishing runner-up in the vault and third in floor exercise. Her sister, Shelby Slutzker, a Level 7 competitor, was third overall, third in floor exercise and second on the balance beam. Hayley McCormack competed in her first Level 5 meet and Rachel Weston competed in her first Level 7 meet. “All of our gymnasts have been working hard to achieve new skills and will hopefully continue to improve throughout the year,” said Kort Borg, Broadway Gymnastic School’s head girls’ coach. “The coaches are proud of the gymnasts and are looking forward to another successful season.”
