The Sturgeon Bay YMCA was bustling with activity this past weekend as it hosted the “Flipping in D.C.” gymnastics meet alongside a swim meet, drawing hundreds of athletes and spectators to the facility.
According to Julia Lasecki, the YMCA’s gymnastics and youth activities director, the weekend showcased the energy and growth of the YMCA’s athletic programs. More than 300 gymnasts from six different YMCA locations competed in 10 categories during the gymnastics meet. Lasecki said “Sturgeon Bay YMCA gymnasts competed at three different levels, with all three groups finishing in first place.”
“The Y was packed this weekend,” Lasecki said, noting the strong community turnout for both the gymnastics competition and the long-distance swim meet, which featured extended-distance events and attracted a large audience.
Gymnastics is not the only sport on the mind of the Door County YMCA. Lasecki days an upcoming teen badminton night scheduled for Friday, February 27, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Sturgeon Bay YMCA.
