The Aaron Johnson Memorial Cup, a highly anticipated trampoline gymnastics competition, was held over the family day weekend in Burnaby.
Athletes from across the province showcased their talent, and 16 athletes from Kelowna’s Okanagan Gymnastics Centre (OGC) once again demonstrated their dedication, hard work and skills by bringing home multiple awards and commendations.
“OGC’s success at this competition is a testament to the hard work and commitment of our athletes, coaches, and parents,” said Jamie Gardner, OGC Trampoline and Tumbling Head Coach. “We are proud to provide a nurturing and supportive environment that allows young gymnasts to excel in their sport and develop lifelong skills such as discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship.”
