ULTIMATE Trampoline Club held their second club championships at Wyre Forest Leisure Centre.

The event saw 84 members from Wyre Forest, Portway Leisure Centre and The Crystal Leisure Centre compete.

The championships gives beginners the chance to compete novice routines for the first time before entering the National Development Plan Structure and experience how a competition is run.

The event also allows the elite competition squad chance to practice new routines for the new competition year which begins in October. It also gave Ella Dew, Martha Muir, Catrise Hart, Chloe Field, Daisy Ricketts and Rory Gibson the opportunity to practice ahead of representing the West Midlands in the National Team Finals in Birmingham on July 16 and 17.

The Elite Section was split into three age groups; under-11s, under-15s and over-15s.

The under under11s competition was very close with only 0.7 between 1st and 2nd place but after two very good routines Arryon Hart who is reigning National Schools Elite Champion became under-11 Club Champion with Felicia Bayley 2nd and Evie Chaplin 3rd.

The under-15s was a very exciting competition where Catrise Hart and Chloe Field, who both represent the West Midlands, battled for first place. Catrise Hart who competed two excellent routines and gained the highest score of the competition of 52.2 and became the reigning under-15 club champion for the second year with Chloe Field 2nd & Rhiannah McIntosh 3rd.

The over-15s group was also very tight. Martha Muir had a very confident competition where both routines were solid and showed excellent technique making Martha the over-15s club champion.

Ellie Lashford who made her debut in the Elite Section has had a good competition year and last year placed 2nd in the Novice is now 2nd in the Elite.

Both Lauren Bell & Emily Connolly performed their best routines this year and also were celebrating their 18th birthdays, Lauren Bell by 0.2 gained 3rd place just pipped Emily Connolly who placed 4th.
