Just over a month after dominating the 2014 Gymnastics NSW Elite State Championships, the teenagers from the Coniston-based club were just as successful at the Australian Gymnastics Championships at Hisense Arena at Melbourne Park last week.

D'Souza-Bullman claimed gold in the rings, vault, high bar and parallel bars and a bronze for the floor event.
He won another gold medal for being one of the four South Coast Gymnastics Academy members in the NSW team, which claimed the overall team title at the national championships.
Adam Rusgnach finished second on the final leaderboard behind clubmate D'Souza-Bullman. His impressive championship included winning a silver on ring and bronze on pommel horse as well as top 10 placings for floor and high bar.
Jarrod Buick also impressed with a gold medal for floor, silver for parallel bars and ninth-place standing overall.
Fellow South Coast gymnast Rhoan Edwards tied second with Buick for parallel bars and received a silver medal for his efforts to go with his overall ranking of 14th place.
Owner and long-time club coach Liz Medway was ecstatic with the boys' performances.
