We steered him into gymnastics since the age of four and he hasn’t looked back.” Jade trains weekly at Glendale and performs the standard six multi disciplinary routines of adult male gymnasts. The rings and the high bar are his favourites. His seven major trophies include ‘Athlete of the Year NSW’; ‘Country Championship ‘ (two years running) and 5th in NSW. Josh also gained two firsts, a second and a fourth in the Grand Prix series. On top of this he has been selected for a high performance training squad in Sydney. “We are very proud of Josh, his dedication and his achievements,” his mother, a lifeguard at Tilligerry Aquatic Centre, remarked.
