Ann Heppner, Regional Judging Director
Welcome to Region 2!
Region 2 is an extremely diverse community
of gymnastics enthusiasts. Region 2 includes the states of Hawaii,
Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. We have beautiful cities,
open plains, rainforest, mountainous regions and tropical paradise all
with thriving gymnastic communities. Some of our dedicated judges drive
vast distances in order to provide small communities with the
opportunity to host gymnastic competitions. In some areas our judges
must fly from island to island or to the Northern-most regions of Alaska
to provide communities with gymnastic judges. Our gymnastic judges are
passionate about keeping this beautiful sport alive and thriving in
Region 2!!
Region 2 Championships 2011
Region 2 Championships was hosted this
last April by Palouse Empire Gymnastics. It was held in Pullman, WA on
the WSU campus. Palouse Empire did a wonderful job and the girls were
able to compete in a large coliseum with plenty of room. It was
beautiful country and we also scored some Cougar Gold cheese!
Palouse Empire also lent their support to the Region 2 Level 8 team
championship meet which benefits the Regional Judging Director’s Office.
Jimmy Tighe generously volunteered his time to record scores and John
Smith gracefully volunteered as our announcer. Most of the judging
community was on hand to work at any task that needed doing. The six
State Judging Directors judged the competition. The great state of
Washington won the competition with a number of beautifully executed
routines. Gymnasts from the state of Hawaii displayed exceptional
enthusiasm, appreciation of all performances, and a unity and demeanor
that made it a pleasure to reward them with the Sportsmanship award. A
huge “Thank-you” to everyone that made this event possible.
Region 2 Regional Congress is coming
up!
Region 2 Congress will be held the weekend
of September 9-11 at Leading Edge in Everett, Washington. I will see you
all there!
