I am so happy to have this picture displayed on my blog. I am very proud of how my individual athletes did this past weekend in the Canada West, South Central, and South East Regionals. All 7 of us Optimum Performance Training athletes in Canada West made it to the 6th event of the weekend - no cuts (7 competitors out of 36 total = about 20%)! Too bad none of us could grad a top 2 finish.

I have to say the weekend was very enjoyable for me. As an athlete, a coach, and a spectator. Great to watch all the amazing performances put in by the athletes, there were too many to mention here in this post. Side note - from my experience (personally), the judging was consistent and fair. Hope that trend continues into the next 4 weeks of Regional competition.
Best of luck to all that have yet to compete.
