The Champ

Last night was the annual Gym Club evening at St Francis. This would be the fourth, and last year, that Joe would be taking part.

They started off with a warm-up exercise, led by Joe and 3 of his friends. There then followed the competition. The first section was a floor routine. Joe had practised really hard for that, and we had some brilliant music for it (Mission Impossible). He did really well even though the music played up a bit when it kept stopping and starting - Joe was a real professional and didn't let it faze him! Joe came top out of the boys with 8.5.

The second and final section of the competition was the vault. Joe had been hoping to do a straddle jump, and had practised hard to get it right. But on the night he decided to go for the safer option and did two fantastic "through" jumps. He came joint top out of the boys with 7.0, meaning that he came first overall out of the boys!

Joe got this fantastic trophy and came very close to winning over all - just losing out by 0.5 to one of the girls.
