What a fantastic weekend for our gym!! Each competition just seems to get better and better and you all continue to impress every judge, spectator, athlete and coach that sees you perform. We are soooo thrilled with each of your placements!
Embers, great job at your first "real" competition. You guys are so cute and have really picked up your routine quickly! Good job on your stunts and tumbling! Also, your dance and motions were so sharp and together!
Flames, 2nd place out of 5 very tough teams!! :) You guys just get better and better at every competition we attend! You have really worked hard the last few weeks at adding difficulty and it showed! Your energy was so explosive when you hit the mat and we could tell you all were serious about taking home a title. Awesome job on a placement well deserved! :)
Heat, 1st out of 5 excellent teams!!! Yeaaaaa! We've been waiting for this first place and you all really deserved it! After getting 2nd out of 5 great teams at Richmond Battle we knew it was just a matter of time!! Your routine was flawless and I had many people come up and say you all were the BEST JR 2 they have seen. I am so proud of each of you for meshing well together and working as a team. Your dance was amazing!! What a strong finish to an awesome routine! GREAT JOB HEAT!
Blaze, you all seized the oppourtunity to beat a team that beat us at our first competition!!! That means you all have done a great job at improving and are continuing to do so at every practice! You all have soooo much tumbling and stunting in this routine and the level of difficullty is above and beyond. It's about as tough as it can be without being level 4! The opening was the best I've ever seen you do as well as the baskets and jumps. Great job finishing strong!
Inferno, WOW! By far the highest level of difficulty of the day!! Everyone in that arena was shocked to see so much talent on the floor. From the tumbling doubles to basket and stunt doubles, it was amazing!!! Great job on nailing your level 5 pyramid! :) Also, the flips in the first stunt looked great! Way to work hard since last comp to bump your difficulty up a level. We got so many positive comments on your amazing performance! You guys are such a talented group of athletes and I can't wait to see what these next few competitions hold for this team! Congrats also on your FULL PAID bid to US Finals!! Full paid bids to US Finals are not easy to get and we are very proud of you for achieving such a fantastic accomplishment!
Callie, didn't want to forget our only solo of the day! What a way to introduce the judges to Synergy! It was a flawless routine starting with that first standing tuck! As always, your full was absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see you bring it at Nationals in Ohio!
We also would like to say a HUGE thank you to parents, friends and family for your continued support of SYNERGY. You all are THE BEST and we couldnt do it without you! We had many people compliment our signs, routines, and overall great vibe from our program. SYNERGY rocked North Carolina! Now, lets take this positive energy to Columbus and show everyone who truely is the BEST around!! :)
Much Love,
Your Synergy Coaches : )

Synergy Families, It was a great SYNERGY Sunday in Richmond! Four NAILED routines!!!!!! Congratulations! It was so awesome to see our athletes giving 110% and working together to make EVERY stunt stick! All of these routines really push our athletes to the limit and our additional 4 US FINALS bids prove it! Find your placements to be a great accomplishment considering the caliber of teams that you were up against and also that each Synergy team was less than a point from a first place finish, a truly amazing accomplishment! We still have most of our season left so for you to be doing so fantastic this early on is something to be proud of, and the best is still yet to come! You all received some really complimentary comments from other teams & coaches, random spectators, as well as judges (lots of 9.5's and 10's!!). Its great to hear these big name gyms saying you guys rocked and are consistently good every time they see us. Thanks to everyone for working together to make this our best competition yet! We are so proud of you!
