USA Gymnastics New Board Chair, Kathryn Carson, Visits Athletes

USA Gymnastics Board Chair, Kathryn Carson, who resides in Chappaqua, visited World Cup Gymnastics during their state sanctioned meet this past weekend. The I Love Gymnastics Josh Ward Invitational took place on Saturday and Sunday, December 1st and 2nd at 170 Hunts Lane, Chappaqua, NY.

Ms. Carson came to cheer on the gymnasts, talk to some of the athletes, their parents and World Cup management. “We were honored to have Ms. Carson join us on Sunday. She gave us hope that the new governance and management at USA Gymnastics will find a way to help our gymnasts heal and once again be the force that inspires gymnasts to reach high and dream big”, said Jason Hebert, director of World Cup Gymnastics.

World Cup Gymnasts certainly reached high during the event. Tarrytown, NY resident, Senika Manchanda who last season competed as a Level 4 was able to compete at this event as a Level 7. Amazingly, as one of the youngest competitors in her level, she aced the bar routine earning a 9.650 and taking home a 1st place trophy for the event.

Danielle Levine of Millwood, NY showed her opponents no mercy when she swept the Level 3 (9+) competition. She was the champion on Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor earning a 37.875 to win the all-around.

Rye, NY resident, Eliana Chorost, appeared to like the pressure of competition and stepped up her game to win the all-around Level 6 (10-12 yr.) competition with a score of 36.900. She was the also the champion on Bars, Beam and Floor.

It was a sister act that stole the show during the Level 7 (15+) competition. Chappaqua resident, Casey Treanor was the all-around champion earning 36.075 and her sister Holly was an extremely close second with an all-around score of 36.025.

Jenna Fox of Valhalla, NY was a true inspiration. She broke her arm last season, but there was no sign of fear or injury when she performed. She came back strong winning the Level 8 (14+) all-around with a 36.750. She also was the Bars champion.
