They say that practice makes perfect and that is quickly becoming a reality for our resident gymnast, Alistair G. 

He competes for the Christchurch School of Gymnastics (CSG) at the Level 3 grade on various apparatus and his competitions this year have taken him (and his very supportive family) to many locations across the South Island. Alistair has enjoyed plenty of wonderful success through the season, achieving a number of notable individual medal placings. Both he, his family and us here at MPS are extremely proud of his achievements. His results this year include:

● 4th overall at the Marlborough Champs

● 1st overall at the Nelson Champs

● 3rd overall at the Canterbury Junior Champs

● 1st overall at the NZ South Island Champs
