6-26-08:  June is typically a slow news month around the gym.  Not because their isn't much happening, but rather, it's a chaotic transition period.  The meet season and school year converge toward this one month, fulfilling an intensive climactic crescendo in the lives of team members and their families.  This point of highest dramatic tension inevitably resolves into a slower pace, as is needed.  This slower period shouldn't be confused with disinterest, as it is also an exciting time as gymnasts are more free to experiment with expanding their skill repertoire - many attend various training camps.  Training groups are also rearranged to reflect their next-season potential, including the addition of new members as the Travel Team Try-outs resume.  June also brings with it the Annual Travel Team Awards Banquet which means our little gym-pets are assured of looking nice once-per-year - without ponytails :)  Fun, summertime activities are in the planning stages, especially during this Olympic year - Go Team USA!  Port Huron-to-Mackinaw Sailboat Race is always a highlight in our area with Family Night and the International Parade - we're pretty sure you haven't seen what we are going to do in the parade, so look for us!
     Congrats to the 2008 Teams for a memorable, safe and successful season.  And also to our new Travel Teamers:  Lexie Davidson, Alyssa Lyon, Peyton Raymo, Kaia Scheffler, Avery Shell, Christopher Bowles, Sergei Bowles, Jarrett Jones, and Carter Lane.
