The level 6 USA gymnasts in Texas were gearing up for Halloween in more ways than one. In addition to shopping for costumes and carving pumpkins, these talented young girls have been training and preparing for one of their most exciting competitions of the season. On October, 30, 2010, approximately 150 level 6 gymnasts from district 1, 2 and 3 competed at North State in Metroplex Gymnastics located in Allen, Texas.
Two gymnasts representing the Eagle’s Wings USAG team were among those 150 level 6 gymnasts who competed.
