“Were 3 times a week, 9 hours a week. We just do routines a lot for the competitions” – Mackenzey Schmidt, Gymnast

A big part of the Prince George Gymnastics Club’s success is the many coaches including Aly Muir. She coached Mackenzey and a couple of other gymnasts at the Championships and says it was a good experience for the girls.

“It was a really good event. All the girls did really well. It was held in a really cool, big venue, which I think was a different experience for them, and they all seem to have a lot of fun.” – Aly Muir, Coach, Prince George Gymnastics Club

With a bright future ahead, they continue to send athletes across the province and even the country to represent The Prince George Gymnastics Club.

“I think it’s really cool when a smaller Northern club like us gets to go to one of those bigger events and gets to show what we can do. So I think it was really great. How the girls did this weekend is really exciting for our club.” – Aly Muir, Coach, Prince George Gymnastics Club
