Rope Climb Champions
Congratulations to all that have accomplished this great challenge. Even though climbing to the top of our rope is a fundamental aspect of gymnastics training and general fitness, you succeeded because you continued to believe and placed that belief higher than the fear that is natural to have. Your job from this point is to remember exactly how hard it was and at some times, seemed pretty impossible. Read more...

With three gyms competing at once, teams from all over the country, and a special opening ceremony, this was definitely an "experience" the girls will not soon forget. The opening ceremony this year featured a performance from two special olympics gymnasts which was very moving and a live "boy band" that stuck around after to sign autographs. Over 15 Northstars represented the team and enjoyed the fun!

Northstars Sweep Tri-State Team Championships!
For the first time ever, the Pittsburgh Northstars won the Open Division of the Tri-State Championships! The excitement started with Tori Bianco's awesome bar routine and led right into Tiara's as she gets her first 9 on bars as a level 10. The excitement kept building as they went 4 for 5 on beam achieving a 27 as a team and winning beam! It was great to see Berger make beam and floor. And great to see Caroline make her beam and a super front-front vault! Tasha Harms did her best floor routine ever and counted with the teams second highest score of 8.9!! Final results were: Pittsburgh Northstars 106.525, Arcadia 105.925 and Gym Dandys 105. 65. As you can see from the scores those little .1 mistakes can make a big difference.
