COLLEGE TRAMPOLINE ACADEMY MAKE IT A DOUBLE

Kingston

College Trampoline Academy swept the field in the ladies U19 section

of the National Schools Trampoline Championship in Stourbridge at the

weekend taking both the individual and team U19 girls’ British

titles. The four strong team got off to an excellent start with 17yr

old Emma Britton, recently returned from the World Age Group Games

edging into the gold medal position by 0.1 in the individual event to

become British U19 Schools Champion just ahead of fellow WAGC team

member Zara Hall from Maesteg.

Pressure

was on in the team competition with three scores to count from the 4

competitors in the two round event. First to follow Emma was Jenice

Huxtable-Perrin who competed a steady set and voluntary routine to

ensure the College had scores on the board. Next to go was Melissa

Soden; recently returned from injury Mel also put in two secure

performances to post good scores in both rounds. But it fell to the

College’s British Double Mini Trampoline National C Champion, 17

year old Beth Anne Lumb to try and increase scores in each round as

the girls tried to edge ahead of the competitive Maesteg team. A fine

set routine performance by Beth was followed by a slightly nervous

voluntary routine, but despite this she did more than enough to

ensure the Kingston Academy Team moved into gold medal position,

three points clear of the Maesteg girls.

Speaking

of the event, High Performance Coach at the College Sarah Silvester

said, “I was thrilled with the girls, they all needed to perform

and perform they did, it was a great day for the College team and for

Emma Britton who last took this title when she was 13!Now we look

forward to the British Colleges Finals in Bath in April where once

again we have one individual U19 girl in Emma Britton, the U19 girls

team and Ashley Noble in the U19 Boy’s novice event”.
