Juneau’s Southeast Alaska Gymnastics Academy held their third home meet of the season on Friday and the “Turkey Tumble” did not disappoint.

This was the team’s second judged meet of the year and head coach Alexis Howard was encouraged with the team’s improvement.

“The gymnasts have the big skills needed for their routines,” Howard said in a press release. “What we’re doing with this series of in-house meets, is giving them an opportunity to clean up technique, and make improvements they’ll need to be their best at the USAG-sanctioned meets later on in the season.”
