Samara, Neomie P., Korey, and Grant competed in the Season Opener Welcome Back Invitational this past Sunday at Skyview in Mount Airy, MD. Samara won level 5 trampoline and double mini. Grant tied for first place in level 5 double mini. Korey won level 6 trampoline and double mini, and Neomie P won level 7 trampoline and placed 3rd in level 7 double mini. Great job! Way to start the season!
The level 10s and elites were scared this past weekend. For once, their fright was not because of skills, drills, or the thought of conditioning! Our 10s and elites took some time to have a little fun outside the gym at Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt. A great time was had by all. Lots of laughs, screams, and memories (and no, not everyone was scared)! Those participating were: Giselle, Ivanna, Wolfgang, Kelsey, Jessica, Lily, Jasmine, Miles, Alex B., Alex C., and, Konstantin.
Congratulations Alex B. And Lindsay for making the 2015 Elite Development Program (EDP) Team for 13-14 year old boys/girls trampoline. All EDP Team members will participate in an International Training Exchange camp at the Olympic Training Site in Huntsville, TX in January. Congratulations Alex and Lindsay! We are proud of you!

Jessica was invited to attend the World Age Group (WAG) Championships selection camp in Huntsville, TX September 4-7 as a result of her performance at Nationals this past July. USA Gymnastics has just announced the team that will compete in the WAG Championships in Daytona Beach, FL in November. Fairland is proud that Jessica has been selected to represent the US in 13-14 girls trampoline! Way to go Jessica. We are proud of you!
Welcome home Fairland athletes and coaches! The Slavic Games provided so many learning experiences for our athletes: food, money, language, (big) time change, hotels that still use actual keys (not cards), underground tunnels/walkways, bus tour, museum: so many stories—such exhausted kids! More importantly, our athletes gained so much experience and learned a lot from competing in an international competition as well as being able to watch the finals competition of the World Cup.
We are very proud of all 5 athletes (Sean, Lindsay, Lily, Jessica, and Delilah). Fairland brought home 3 medals! Sean paired up with Andrew from T&T Express to win the silver medal in Senior men’s synchro. Jessica won the bronze medal in individual trampoline (13-14 girls). Delilah paired up with Sophia from T&T Express to win the bronze medal in Senior women’s synchro.
After the long flight to Belarus Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, Fairland athletes wasted no time getting into their competition groove. Even though they arrived in Belarus Wednesday morning, they had a light training session Wednesday afternoon. Thursday started off with a morning training session and Qualification (preliminary) competition began Thursday evening. All Qualification rounds finished today (Friday), and finals competition will be Saturday. Congratulations to all our athletes. We are proud of you! Results from the Qualification Round are:
Individual Trampoline:
