Lead by Team Captain Kristy Bishop the girls held it together to come away from the State Team trial with every girl selected to represent Queensland.
Kristy did a fantastic job in the Level 10 division winning Vault, Bars and Beam at the Regional Championships to place 2nd overall by just 0.03 to current Commonwealth Games Gold medalist Chloe Simms. Steph Zietek put in a strong performance in her first comp of the year to place 3rd Overall and qualify along with Kristy to represent Queensland.
Alex Trezise and Rebecca Carter performed well to place 2nd and 4th respectively in the Level 9 division with Alex winning Beam and Bec placing 3rd on Floor.
Taylor Ryan was awarded Overall Regional Champioinships in Level 8 while team mate Ally Smith had a few problems on day one to place 7th and 1.1 out of team selection. Ally showed everyone the true champion she is by placing 2nd on Day 2 and moving her ranking to 6th overall and booking a place on the plane to Perth.
Sidney McIlwaine is the Level 7 South Queensland Champion after winning both rounds of competition over the weekend. Sophie Musgrave placed 3rd in the Regional Championships and 2nd in day 2 of competition.
Sam Hansford, Jess Wigglesworth and Laura Purdie had an amazing second round of competition in the State Trial. Under considerable pressure the girls showed great strength and composure to hold together four good routines on day two to significantly improve their placings.
Sam placed 9th in Day 1 and 5th in Day 2 to place 5th overall. Jess placed 10th in day one and 3rd in day two to finish the trial in 4th overall. The final placings mean that Sid, Sophie, Jess and Sam will all represent Queensland at the National Titles in Perth in July.
Laura had two strong rounds of competition to move from 12th on Day 1 to 7th in Day 2 to end up in 9th place overall. Laura was selected to represent Queensland at the Border Challenge which will be held in Caloundra in September.
