Between the individual and team awards, it was a successful weekend for FG. We are so proud of all our teams. For some of our gymnasts, Hilton Head Invitational was only the second gymnastics meet they’ve ever competed in. Many of them competed against each other in the same age division. This did not stop them from cheering on their teammates and encouraging them to be their best. Congratulations to all of our gymnasts who competed in the Hilton Head Invitational!
