On the Saturday everyone arrived to get ready at the Kings Gym. The hairspray came out and the leotards,makeup,socks and the crisp white aerobics shoes. Once we were ready we went and warmed up in the Kings Gym with our coach Kerry Hockley-Remon. Then it was time for us to go over to the auditorium for qualifying day. We all qualified for the final the next day. 

On Sunday we did our routines once more and then we had to wait for a few hours until prize giving when the results were announced. Amaya was first I was second and Abby from Balmacewen came third. Ruby came fourth and Jess came fifth and Amberly came sixth. The top five place getters have qualified to go to Nationals in Wellington on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September.
