2017 LGA Lucky Invite Coverage Page

Just one week before state, gymnasts at the 2017 Libertyville Lucky Invite squeezed in one last competition before the most important part of the competition season where athletes will compete at state and regional competitions, vying for a spot on the JO National team. Here we saw finishing touches to routines of the season and a final chance to get out any jitters, in a festive St. Patrick’s Day atmosphere. Based on this meet, Region 5 is in for high-flying vaults, huge releases on bars, very clean beam, and enthusiastic floor routines, giving us a good look at several gymnasts heading towards 2017 Nationals. As expected, Andrea Li, Nia Dennis, Delanie Harkness, and Chloe Bellmore received sky high scores for near perfect routines. Especially impressive were both Madelyn and Chloe Bellmore’s full twisting yurchenko vaults, Jori Jackard and Andrea Li’s bar sets, and Ella Cesario’s all-around performance.

Here we also saw the importance of the team in our region. Twistars, Legacy Elite, UGA, Naperville, and others were always quick to support their teammates and fellow competitors throughout the competition. From pre-routine pep talks and constant cheering to sharing laughs and hugs, the girls stood out in their commitment to working together for the team and helping each other throughout the session. Such support and camaraderie is what makes Region 5 great.

Thank you to Libertyville Gymnastics Academy for hosting this fun competition filled with a lot of Irish-luck spirit.
