| Hayley Hayley transferred to the R. A. C. Level 4 Team in February 2002 and she competed in her first competition two months later at the Silver State Games where she received the second highest bar score of all the R. A. C. gymnasts. Since that time, Hayley has continued to improve learning new skills such as her kip on bars, side handstand dismount on beam, and front tuck on floor. With the great improvements that she has been making, we expect her to move through the levels very quickly and do quite well along the way. Great job, Hayley. Keep up the great work. |

Deciding not to compete this year, Shelley has been working on upgrading her skills on all of the events in preparation for Level 6 and 7. Shelley is also an outstanding example in the gym with her hard work, great attitude, and extreme friendliness to everyone. We truly enjoy having Shelley at R. A. C. |

| Mitina Mitina began gymnastics at R. A. C. in March 2002, and quickly moved onto the Level 4 Training Team. Her natural talent, combined with her love of the sport and willingness to work hard has made her the top of her group as she quickly has gained the skills she needs to compete, including the "elusive" back handspring. We expect to see big things from this young lady in the future. Keep up the great work! |

In her second year as a Level 4, Hannah has decided that she wants to reach higher levels and has begun working even harder in practices. Always having a good attitude, Hannah has gotten serious about her gymnastics and improved her skills, form, and presentation. Her hard work has paid off in higher scores where she placed 4th on bars and 6th on floor in the first meet of the season. With this new attitude, we look forward to seing what the future will bring! |

Great job and attitude, Lexy!!! |

Her great form and hard work has paid off with her receiving her first 9.0 (on vault) as well as improving her scores over two points! Annika also placed 6th on bars, her least favorite event, at the Nevada State Championships. Keep up the great work in Level 5! |
| Gina Gina began gymnastics at R. A. C. at 4 years old. Three years later, Gina is now in her second year on the Level 4 Training Team where she is learning how to compete. At the practice competition in October, Gina nailed her bars and beam routine beating many competitiors both older and more experienced than she. Since this time, Gina has been working even harder in practice to learn new moves and to improve her form. Way to Go! |
