Taylor Ansbaugh, Monica Estes, and Sarah Wooten led Peak to an 8th team finish at compulsory Level 5.

The Optional squad garnered numerous places including Victoria Herandez winning Level 8 Vault, Olivia Bannerot’s Silver Medals on Vault, Bars, and Bronze in All-Around at Level 9. Kelly Coyle finished 3rd on Vault, Bars, and Level 8 All-Around and Bri’Anna Reisinger’s Bronze in Level 7 Vault rounded out the honors for the Enumclaw contingent. Tiana Johnston and Nikki Wilson narrowly missed out on individual awards.

Head Coach Hannah Holt commented afterwards: “We were pleased with the effort, and happy that the girls had such a good time at this meet. That said, we’ve got a lot of work and room for improvement ahead of us.”

Peak Gymnastics next competition will be the annual “Rock n’ Roll Classic in Vancouver Washington on February 6 and 7.

Chasing Impossible Dreams

noreply@blogger.com (Peak Gymnastics) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:38:00 +0000

Our Team Coach, Jim Holt has written a memoir about his two decades striving for the international development of gymnastics. I’m certain it will be a great read.

It is an extraordinary saga of inspiring and (often) hilarious efforts to change the world through sport. Jim has transcended venality, corruption, and oft non-sensical institutional and bureaucratic resistance in a manner which ultimately affects the lives of those with whom he comes in contact. In short, it is a manifesto for self-determination, individual achievement, and a refusal to capitulate to the tides of conformity which threaten us all….

… He has coached (to date) in 11 World Championships, including 1991- Bolivia; 1993- Bolivia & Ecuador, 1994-Bolivia, 1996-Iran, 1997 Barbados; 1999-Namibia; 2001-Bolivia; 2002- Bolivia; 2003- Bolivia; 2006-Yemen; 2007- Yemen. He was the National Coach for Zimbabwe at the 1995 All-African Games where he also served as Gymnastics Competition Director, and was Assistant Coach for Nigeria at the 1994 Commonwealth Games. …
