Croydon School of Gymnastics   Junior Mixed TeamGym Junior Mixed

As with the Senior mens team and the junior mens team, unfortunately we do not have a current team.

After the success of the Junior Boys' Team in 1998, a little re-organising was done. The team was broken up and re-formed as the Junior Mixed Team in 1999. Like the Senior Men's Team, they have performed at both the 1999 and the 2000 British TeamGym Championships, as well as the Horsham Open TeamGym Competition.

Horsham Open TeamGym Competition
On Sunday 4th June, the team broke their run of silver medals, earning the first gold teamgym medal for the club. After their near miss at the 2000 Championships, they were determined to beat their rivals, Basingstoke.

With two Gymnasts (Jessica Mills and Joshua Quiney) both suffering nagging injuries, we brought onto the team Niina and Karl Vijayaratnam to take the pressure off them in the Tumbling and Trampette disciplines. The decision payed off and our deepest gratitude goes to the brother and sister act who came in on such short notice to learn the floor routine in less than 4 weeks!

The Gold medal winning Team was as follows:
    Nee Sykes (Boys' captain)
    Shaun Collins
    Karl Vijayaratnam
    Daniel Burke
    Joshua Quiney
    Richard Potton
    Stephanie Marnell (Girl's captain)
    Jessica Mills
    Michelle Fredua-Mensah
    Amanda Symons
    Emma Roach
    Julie Lau
    Niina Vijayaratnam
