Way to Go Luke.

Ryan Stephenson managed a strong performance to place 5^th overall in the Senior Men’s Tumbling division.  Ryan is ranked 5^th in Canada and will be heading to the World Championships this fall as the team-alternate.  In the mean time he will be participating in a match-competition between Canada and Great Britain as well as World Cups in Poland and Russia.  Good luck to Ryan over the next couple months.
