Paris Olympics beckon as Lyn Gilroy is

appointed Australian Gymnnastics Coach

For Mango Hill Residents Lyn & Alex Gilroy, through their many
years of involvement as both coaches and coordinators of the
gymnastics and trampolining programs provided by Redcliffe
PCYC, they have assisted many hundreds of young people in
finding success and joy in the field of sport.

Over the last few years Lyn has risen to be the Qld state coach for
trampolining and in this role, has succeeded in coaching many
Queensland kids to become national champions, of which a
significant number are Morton Bay residents.

Now Lyn has another string to add to her very impressive
volunteer career in being appointed as one of the Australian
Trampolining Team Coaches. Lyn was recently on the coaching
staff that attended the Trans-Tasman Trampolining Challenge in
New Zealand.

Pictured is Lyn with her most senior and successful athlete,
Harrison Lee, an Australian team member who at world titles last
year ranked 6th in the world. This is a fantastic result for Harrison,
considering that he, as well as other team members, have to
fund all their own training costs.

Lyn and other Australian coaches are now working hard to help
Harrison and the other team athletes qualify at the upcoming
Australian National Titles for a position on the team to represent
Australia at World Titles at the end of this year and then the Paris
Olympics next year.
