MEET SCHEDULE:

The Indiana meet schedule is posted on the website (http://members.aol.com/bpruettkim). If you have any additional meets that you want on the schedule, please email them to me.

STATE MEET:

State Meet will be held at Anderson Gymnastics on March 20-21, 2004. Look forward to new newsletters for details on the meet.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS:

If you have a gymnast that qualifies for the Academic All-American program, go to the USAG website (http://www.usa-gymnastics.org) and print out the form on the Men's Program Page for your gymnast.

GRADUATING SENIORS:

Last Call. Does anyone have any graduating seniors? If so, email me so that I know for whom to get a plague.

JUDGING:

Some of the coaches were under the impression that there was a deadline to sign up for the judging course. There is no deadline. The deadline was strictly for the golf outing. If you intend on taking the judging course, show up at it. The symposium will be held in Indiana October 4-5 near Gas City, IN. This symposium will be the State judging course. There will be no other course in Indiana this year. At the state meeting, we decided that if you decide to take the National Course for the first time, then the State will pay your judging test fees. That is a free $55. The schedule is

Saturday October 4 2pm National Judging Course

Sunday October 5 8am JO Judging Course

If you need directions, send me an email or call Rick Atkinson at 517-355-1633.

CLINIC:

The State Clinic went very well. The turn out was great! We had 130 kids. Considering that there were only 214 gymnasts at state meet last year, we had 60% of the entire boy's gymnasts from Indiana in attendance! If you missed it, you missed a good time.
