The week of July 5-8 was a big one for Ricochet Trampoline Club’s athletes, as six qualifiers travelled to compete in the New Zealand National Gymnastics Championships at the Mercury Baypark Arena in Tauranga.

Ricochet’s six athletes were part of the 19-strong team, along with athletes from Gisborne, representing Hawke’s Bay/Poverty Bay.

Two Ricochet athletes, Kegan and Caitlin Kirk, are now seasoned competitors, having attended the nationals four years running, while the remaining athletes Callum Pearce, Sophia Coddington, Ryan and Malachi Mackintosh were attending for their novice year. All made the most of their experiences, soaking up the atmosphere.

The club wants to thank Waipukurau Rotary, which helped the athletes with their competition entry fees, and to give a “massive shout-out to Wayne Marsh, our awesome coach who is always there supporting our athletes”.

“It was fantastic to see our athletes, current and former, rewarded for their hours of dedicated training, performing so well on the big stage and doing Central Hawke’s Bay proud,” said Ricochet Trampoline Club co-chairman David Kirk.

“We take nothing for granted and thank the local community for their continuing support of our athletes, as their successes are your successes.”

Lachie was named as the Overall Senior International Men’s Trampoline and Double Mini Champion.
