| Victorian Interschool Gymnastics,
Sport Aerboics & Cheerleading Competition 2005
The Victorian Interschool Gymnastics, Sport Aerobics & Cheerleading
competition took place last week from 31st Aug – 2nd Sept
and proved to be one of our most successful seasons.
Gymnastics
In preparation for this event, current, new and retired gymnasts
trained hard during Term 3 under the guidance of Team Manager,
Leida O’Flynn assisted by Year 12 students Hui Nee Chin
- School Gymnastics Captain & Tamara Gleave & Natasha
Dettman - Co Vice Captains. MLC had 35 gymnastics competitors
ranging from Yr 6 to Yr 12. A total of nine teams competed across
six different divisions and six of these teams placed in the Top
3. MLC dominated and won Level 4 senior division and the Level
5/6 division and also had outstanding individual results.
One of the highlights of the 3-day event was Vice Captain, Tamara
Gleave hitting her Beam routine on Friday morning. After retiring
from the Sport last year and taking up coaching, the Geelong student
competed a “full-set” Beam routine that won her the
National title last year.

Dance” placing 1st and the “Cheer, Stunts & Tumbling”
