NOLA.com article- Mandeville's Flairs Win National Gymnastics Title!

As mentioned in an earlier post, the Flairs brought home a national championship title at the USA Gymnastics Open Championships held in Orlando, FL as part of  the ESPN RISE Showcase.  The full article can be found here.

There is an old Chinese proverb that states: "The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials."  We watch our girls face many struggles as gymnasts.  There are falls, injuries, tears of frustration, and difficulties to overcome.  Each one of them, though, found a way to work through these and rise to the occasion.  They realize that meets are not won on the day of competition, but through hours of hard work in the gym.  We are so proud of the girls and our coaches!!  Congratulations on a great year!!
