All around gold for Oakley

Injury sidelines gymnasts for nationals

Taylor Oakley won an all around gold medal at the Canadian Linen & Service B.C. Gymnastics Championships April 8-10 in Langley.

The 14-year-old Surrey resident won a medal in three of the four events, taking the gold on floor, a silver on bars and a bronze on vault. A 10th place finish on beam kept her on top of the all around standings.

Her win clinched a place in the six-member provincial team heading to nationals in Prince Edward Island next month, but a dislocated elbow sustained last week will likely keep her out of the competition.
