TAKING their winning performance on the road, the Greater Valley Calisthenics (GVC) teams competed in Echuca last week, with the Subs-Junior team again taking out first place in their age group. There was a moment’s tension when the announcer called rival club Roselind the winner. But after a quick discussion off-stage and a recount, the GVC girls were awarded first place, taking the title by a mere two and a half points.

The Club and Free Arm events are where the GVC sub-junior girls shine, comfortably leading the way in both performances to help lead them to victory in their age group. They put in strong showing across all six disciplines.
Held at Paramount Theatre in Echuca, all the teams from Tinie’s to Master’s performed with grace and poise as they competed across the three-day event. Beginning with solos on Friday and wrapping up Sunday afternoon.
The GVC teams and soloists won’t have time to rest on their laurels with the Bendigo comp beginning this Thursday.
