Over 240 P.E.I. athletes competing in PEISAA gymnastics championships in Kensington

KENSINGTON, P.E.I. — Kensington Intermediate Senior High School will once again be the site of the 2023 ADL P.E.I. School Athletic Association provincial gymnastics championships on Feb. 11.

A total of 241 athletes, representing 22 different schools, will compete in six age categories for the P.E.I. School Milk Foundation Awards.

“We are very excited to be hosting our provincial after a pause of two years due to COVID restrictions at the Kensington Intermediate Senior High School. It’s such a beautiful facility, it can hold so many spectators and the gym is very spectator friendly …, ” said PEISAA gymnastics commissioner Paul Goguen.

“Looking forward to seeing these students compete, there is always so much excitement and certainly always fun to watch”

The morning schedule features 123 registered pre-novice boys and girls from grades 3 and 4. This competition will begin at 9 a.m., with the presentation of awards at noon. Defending pre-novice team champions –West Kent Elementary boys and LM Montgomery Elementary girls – will both be there to defend their team titles.

The afternoon will see 118 novice boys, novice girls, bantam girls and intermediate girls from grades 5 to 9 compete at 1 p.m., followed by the presentation of awards at 3:25 p.m. Spring Park Elementary (novice boys) and LM Montgomery Elementary (novice girls) will defend their team titles.

Each gymnast will perform two vaults and one floor routine. Event and all-around awards will be awarded with schools also competing for provincial team honours.

Spectators are welcome.

Across P.E.I. schools, teachers have been busy working with their students since the start of December. All four zone championships were held with over 550 students taking part. All four zones will be sending their top three teams and top 20 all-around gymnasts in each category.

P.E.I. School Athletic Association school sport co-ordinator Phil Bridges is pleased with the continuing growth of gymnastics in schools across the province.

“This year, our numbers will be down, and it’s probably related to no gymnastics program in our schools for the past two years,” said Bridges. “We are looking forward to seeing these acrobatic athletes return for a provincial meet.

“The participation, alone, provides our students with both mental and physical health benefits through strength and endurance conditioning “
