Delta Gymnastics will be well represented on Team B.C. at the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games, slated for Aug 7-16 in Wood Buffalo, Alberta.
The 12 member B.C. contingent includes local athletes Ella Rogers, Sophie Anderson and Ryan Woodhead. All earned their spots at last month's Team Trials in Kelowna.
Rogers is the recently crowned 2015 Western Canadian and Gymnastics B.C. champion.
She heads a dynamic women's artistic gymnastics group. Joining her and Anderson is perennial provincial and Western Canada medalist Darby McInytre (Salt Spring Island), along with Celine May (TAG), Rachel Rubin-Sarganis (Vancouver
Phoenix) and Alia Wilson (Prince George).
Besides Woodhead, the B.C. men's contingent includes 2015 Western Canadian Gymnastics champion Lane Messier (Flicka), Western bronze medalist Treyson Cerrato (Surrey), Victor Blaine (Langley), Dawson Friesen (Twisters) and Cohen Kiers (Twisters).
"British Columbia has a strong tradition of success in gymnastics at the Western Canada Summer Games," said Team B.C. Chef de Mission Diane St-Denis. "I know that these athletes will be tremendous competitors and represent Team B.C. and their sport very well at the Games this August."
The artistic gymnastics competitions take place during the first week.
