2022 Senior State Championships

Success for KSTP athletes

Kachan School of Tumbling had a team of twenty-four athletes compete at the Senior State Championships over the weekend of 1st to 3rd April at Rooty Hill’s Sydney Gymnastics Centre.  Our team was made up of athletes from the young age of 9 up to our senior team.

The weekend’s competition was also qualifiers for the following;

• Australian Championships, athletes had their final opportunity to qualify for a spot on the NSW State Team.  Nationals will be held on the Gold Coast in May.
• The World Games to be held in Birmingham USA in July.  There is 1 Australian position for male Tumbling, female Tumbling and female DMT.  Ethan McGuinness and Jack Hemmings were vying for the spot for Tumbling, Breanah Cauchi and Koralee Catlett vying for a spot for Tumbing, Koralee Catlett and Cheyanna Robinson vying for the DMT spot.  The althletes had to compete in two events, that will then go to the selecting panels for the final decision.

Not only did all our athletes do themselves proud, but they all qualified for their events to compete at the Australian Championships.   A fantastic result, a special mention should go to the athletes who were affected by the recent floods and isolation due to covid, some of which missed up to four weeks of training before the event.

Day 1, was the Tumbling event and the first of the World Games qualifier, Day 2 was the international stream DMT competition and the first World Games qualifier, Day 3 ended with the second World Games qualifier for our seniors and our levels competition for DMT.  The amazing results are below.

It was pleasing to see all the wonderful performances which included some new routines, PB’s and of course all qualifying scores hit. For our seniors, vying for a spot to compete at The World Games, it is a matter of waiting to hear from the selectors!

Finally, thank you to all the parents for your ongoing support and to Gymnastics NSW for hosting such an awesome event.
