National Champions!  Congratulations to the Lakewood WA YMCA Team for bringing home the team titles for the Championship (L9/10) and Level 8 Divisions at the YMCA Nationals Gymnastics Championships - held in Pheonixville, PA at the end of June.  This is the 9th win for the Lakewood YMCA Championship Team - breaking the record (tied) with the Seattle YMCA.  Seattle won their championships between 1965 and 1974.

Past champions include: Joyce Tanac, Lorna Woodward, Cleo Carver, Debbie Halle, and Yumi Modre from the Seattle YMCA and Linda Metheny Mulvihill from the Champaign IL, YMCA.

Judge Humor....
At a gymnastics meet, an irate coach was arguing with a judge. Suddenly, the judge picked up a placard and showed it to the coach. It read, "Who do you think will win this argument?"
A. The judge
B. The judge
C. The judge
D. All of the above

In the middle of this clip are a group of gymnasts from Gym Plus! Gymnasts Falling.
