Level three gymnasts Bridget Haberfield, Kaitlyn Lane, Lily Jenkins, Catie Ragg and Kalani Plant used Warrnambool Springers Invitational on the weekend to book their spot.
Event co-ordinator Brenda Jarry said it was a highlight for the south-west club, which attracted over 300 athletes to its annual competition.
“They entered the wildcard category,” she said.
“It’s quite exciting in that respect so we are quite pleased about that.
“We had teams in levels one, two and three and that was the only lot that made it straight through but that’s OK, we have to work on things as in any sport.”
Warrnambool had a number of successes at its home tournament, including Kate Stevens who received her state level 10 assessment test.
