Two Nanaimo athletes reached great heights in virtual competition this spring, medalling at Trampoline Gymnastics B.C. Championships.

Adin Brenner of Gabriola Island and Owen Harbo of Nanaimo had top-three results at the competition, held virtually March 25-April 5.

Brenner hasn’t competed in trampoline gymnastics in three years, but was able to mobilize to senior competition at a virtual meet in March.

At provincials, he took silver on the double mini trampoline.

Harbo earned silver medals on the trampoline and in tumbling, and added a bronze on the double mini.

Both youths have qualified to Elite Canada and Canadian championships, which are trials for international competitions.
