The men's team at Coquitlam's Kerrigan Gymnastics Club qualified for the upcoming Western Canadian championships after bouncing to first place in a recent qualifying meet in Surrey.
Members of the winning squad included team captain and national squad member Colin Schuler Ram, Addyson Cheladyn, Cole Palmeri, Adrian Kask and John Sandoval.
Palmeri, Schuler Ram and Addyson also earned the right to compete in the national championships next June.
Also, the unit's head coach, Rory Kerrigan, was selected to guide Team B.C. as a result of the strong showing.
Level 1 Kerrigan gymnast Mauzzammil Taziz placed second all-around individually and is hunting for No. 1 status at a meet in Abbotsford later this month.
Kerrigan's women's group also competed well, including Michelle Cooper, Emma Jordan, Daniella Letourneau, Brianna Wong and Niki Duschene.
