Binghamton, NY, March 16-18, 2018 – World Cup Gymnastics boys’ team competed this past weekend at the New York State Championship held at Chenago Valley High School in Binghamton, NY. Over 400 gymnasts competed at this exciting event.

Level 10 boys had a great meet. In particular graduating Senior, Miles Miller from Hartsdale, NY was the champion on Floor in the 17-18 age group with a 13.7001 and took home silver medals for Rings (13.7002), Parallel Bars (13.5002) and High Bar (13.5002). He also was the All-Around silver medalist (80.5002). Teammate, J.T.

Although World Cup’s Level 10 Team vied for the first place title, in the end, they were proud of their third place finish.

Level 8 gymnast and National Team Member, Eli Osuna, from West Point was the champion on Rings with a 12.8001, on Parallel Bars (12.3502) and on High Bar (12.7001). He also took home the silver All-Around medal. “Eli tried a new vault routine at the competition and, although he didn’t nail it, we believe that true champions are those that have the guts to challenge themselves. We applaud him for his courage,” said head coach, Jason Hebert.

Our youngest gymnast at age 7, Dylan Davenport, from Stamford, CT won Level 5 Rings with a 10.9001 and Vault (9.3001). He also took home silver medals on Floor (10.4002) and Pommel Horse (10.7002) as well as placing fourth in the All-Around (59.0004).

Our Level 10 boys were especially motivated and driven and it showed in their outstanding performances. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements,” added Hebert. The boys’ team now advance to the regional competitions.

On Being Brave in Preschool

October 21, 2015 by The Inside Press

“My stomach feels funny. What if no one likes me? What if someone is mean to me? I think I am going cry. I should turnaround. I am going to close my eyes. Okay I am in. Okay let mommy’s hand go.”

Choosing to be courageous starts at an early age. We see this bravery in our World Cup students every day. From choosing to walk through the doors on their first day of preschool to asking to join in a game with other children, to committing to their first back handspring, even our youngest students amaze us with their valor. As parents and as a community, we should nurture this courage by giving our children the opportunity to make those spirited choices. Challenge them to try new things like a new sport or a new vegetable from the farmer’s market, and make sure to praise them when they do. Introduce them to the brave role models in their neighborhood, from the fireman and policeman to their local politicians. Show courage by your example. Explain to your child how you don’t just follow the crowd but follow your own path based on your beliefs. www.worldcupschools.com
