Kaylee Oburg almost pulled off a clean sweep.
Oburg, a member of the Prince George Gymnastics Club, was the all-around champion in the Junior Olympic 7 (2001-04) category at the Winterfest meet, held in Coquitlam on the weekend. On the way to overall gold, she placed first on vault, balance beam and uneven bars. Only a third-place result on floor routine kept her from perfection in the group.
Oburg's performance was part of a solid weekend for Prince George gymnasts. Two others, Emma Movold and Delaney Soares, ended up second and third overall, respectively, in the Junior Olympic 6 (2003-05) division. On her individual events, Movold was first on vault and floor, fourth on balance beam and seventh on bars. Soares, meanwhile, finished first on bars, fifth on beam, seventh on floor and ninth on vault.
Sadie Bricker was another P.G. standout at the event. She was competing in Junior Olympic 8 for the first time and had a third-place showing on floor. With her routine, she also won the award for best choreography. Bricker also placed fifth on balance beam and seventh on vault.
Other results included: Mary Grace Maurice, fourth overall, Junior Olympic 6 (2003-05); Kaitlyn Muir, fourth overall, Junior Olympic 7 (2001-04); and Alencia Graham, sixth overall, Junior Olympic 6 (2003-05).
Danielle Bobbie's top result was a fifth place on bars in the Junior Olympic 6 (2006) category. Casey Muise (Level 7, 2005-06) was at her best on the beam, where she finished fourth. Kaydence Bellerive (Level 7, 2005-06) had a seventh-place result on bars and Madison Boomhower (Junior Olympic 7, 2001-04) sparkled on balance beam with a third-place effort.
Next up for many local gymnasts will be the Quesnel Goldpan, which will double as provincial championship trials for Level 6 athletes. The meet happens Feb. 17-18.
