They will head to Melbourne in May to represent NSW at the national championships – Australia’s premier gymnastics event.
More than 1400 athletes will perform over 6000 routines across 12 days of competition at Melbourne’s Hisense Arena from May 23 to June 4.
This year’s national championships will also serve as the final Olympic selection event, with the Australian team announcements to be made at the competition.
