 It has been an spectacular experience to support Benjamin in his Gymnastic's journey over the last years.. He has been part of the competitive Tumbling and Trampoline team at Calgary Gymnastic Center (CGC) and has been placing well for level 1. The first Provincial meet took place in January (Altadore), giving him a first place in Double Mini. The second Provincial meet was in April (CGC), where he took first place in Trampoline. The third Provincial meet was in May (Airdrie), where he took frist place in both (Double Mini and in Trampoline). These took him to compete in the Westerns (Manitoba, Sask, Alberta and BC) that were help in Edmonton at UofA. He managed to get first place on both disciples as well as in Synchro.
