Winners are Grinners at the WOGA Classic

Good results for Australia at the WOGA Classic.

I had a feeling it would be won by a home club girl (it was - Christa Tanella), but in the all-around our own Ashleigh Brennan tied for second with Canada's Kristina Vaculik, scoring 56.75, just .15 off first place. In event finals, Ash won(!) balance beam with a fantastic score of 15.45 (atoning for Stuttgart, so perhaps that potential Beijing beam lineup is not looking so bad after all) and placed 3rd on bars with a 14.2.



(L-R: Ashleigh, Christa, Kristina)




Kerby Purcell and Fiona Coley placed 6th and 7th all-around respectively. Britt Greeley was tied for 5th all-around in the junior division of the competition. The Aussie team itself finished 3rd overall.


Well done to all the girls. The current issue of International Gymnast magazine (the website of which the above photo comes from) features a gorgeous picture of Ashleigh, she's grown into quite the elegant young competitor.
