Queensland Champion Visits Kingborough
Senior National Squad Member and 2015 Queensland State Champion,
Blake Rutherford (Rockhampton PCYC) was a fresh face in the
Kingborough Senior Trampoline Team for 2-weeks in April.
Blake, who has recently finished year 12, says he is drawn to
Kingborough for the state of the art training centre, coaching expertise,
team mates, and the team culture within the Tramp Program which
focuses on comradery and competition, with a fierce work ethic.
Blake will return to Hobart for the upcoming AWE Senior National
Squad (Shadow Olympic Camp) being held at Kingborough from the 35 July.
Senior State Championships
A massive congratulations to all gymnasts who competed in the 2015
Senior State Championships on the 2nd-3rd May.
Over the 2-day competition, Kingborough gymnasts competed in
individual trampoline, double mini, synchronised trampoline and
tumbling. It was great to see so many athletes competing, some at their
first State Championships and some for their 13th!
The encouraging support from fellow athletes made the last
competition leading up to Nationals a great one. A huge thank you to
all parents and senior athletes who volunteered as scorers, spotters
and marshalls; competitions can’t run as smoothly as they do without
the devoted help from those in the trampoline community.
