Level 3 Stars Shine Bright at State Championships!

Gem City’s Level 3 State qualifiers traveled to Bourbonnais, Illinois for the 2024 USAG Illinois State Championships! We are so proud of all of them for qualifiying and for showing up strong.  💎

It takes SO much to get to this point – MANY hours, lots of failures, multiple hurdles, and then let’s factor in school, home, faith, family, friends, & hobbies – these athletes manage a pretty big load. ❤️ Athletes attended up to five invitational meets this season from December through February. They had to earn a minimum qualifying score to qualify for State. This State meet is hosted by Gymnastics X-Caliber.
