… shout out to Ellie Black who was at our meet this weekend — the Prince Edward Classic in Charlottetown — to demo new routines. …
She was ever so charming and gracious with all the young athletes, signing autographs and posing for pics all day. Her gymnastics was amazing as always. Great meet all around, largest of it’s kind east of Montreal. Close to 500 athletes, all 4 Atlantic Provinces. Eat, sleep, compete all under one roof — perfect for freezing January. 🙂
