National Trampolining Champions 2010 U19 & U15

National Champions again? Not just in one age group but in two! Sheffield High School had yet again another ‘first’ with a double Championship win at the National Schools Trampoline Finals!

Having qualified from the North with three teams at U19 A & B and U15 levels, plus four individuals, the team of 13 travelled down to Bristol with a dream of going one better than 2009 finals results of U19 team being placed 2nd in the country and the U15 Champions.

The dream was realised in a nail biting finish after a long wait as the organisers announced that not only had the U19B team achieved a creditable 5th place in the country but both the U15 & 19A teams had become the National Champions for 2010!

‘After the compulsory round, I was disappointed with my performance but my voluntary, which includes tuck back and tuck front, pulled me up to take 2nd place in the country’, said 2010/11 school trampolining captain Thalia Caddy who had the highest individual placing of the Sheffield High girls.

The girls involved were:

U13 Novice
Individual Chloe Pryce (Year 7)

U15 Novice
Team – Paige Winspear (Year 10), Tori Wensley (Year 9), Tal Hackett (Year 9) and Sarah Bower (Year 9)
