REGION 2 Xcel Invitational – 2018

In response to your requests, you received the exciting news that there will be a Region 2 Xcel Invitational the weekend of April 27-29, 2018.  Bids for this hosting this invitational are due to Marian DeWane (Region 2 Administrative Chair r2racc@gmail.com) by June 1.  I can only guess at the number of athletes that might attend the Invitational but if you would attend, please send me a list of numbers by division that might come.  That way I can give those who are considering bidding a rough idea of numbers.

THANK YOU!

I attended the Idaho and Washington State Xcel Championship meets this spring.   The quality of the gymnastics has improved and the enthusiasm of the participants (athletes and coaches) is inspiring.

It is great to see so many young athletes benefiting from this program – keep up the good work!

Also, my sincere thanks for your support in allowing me to serve another 4 years as your Region 2 Xcel Chair.

Best wishes for fun and successful training and hope to see you at Regional and State Congresses this summer.
