Gymnasts of varying degrees
of ability make up the newly
formed gymnastics club at the
College,
The club, formed last term by
Brian Snook, consists
of 20
members, ten of whom qre very
active in practice, said Snook,
spokesman for the club.
The College maintains several
pieces of gymnastic equipment
such as still rings, high bar, un
even and even parallel bars, a
vaulting horse, balance beam,
two bounce boards and a derelict
trampoline, Snook said.
The variety of equipment
available to the participating and
non-participating members in the
class will give them a chance to
perfect their skills.
"The equipment really didn't
get that much use until the club
was formed," Snook said.
Several of the members have
had previous gymnastic exper
ience in high school, while
others were enrolled in a gym
nastics class taught by Nancy
Mikleton, P.E. instructor at the
College, Snook said.
"In the future we plan to
enter ore men and women into
area invitational meets, but main
ly the class was established just
for fun and physical fitness,
Snook said.
Membership is open to all
College students with an interest
in gymnastics.
