Parents, once again I am so grateful to you for the continued participation of parents and gymnasts in this program. For over twenty-one years we have been able to keep this program exclusively for local gymnasts. Despite adding computer-transmission of scores, we still need the paper back-up per NCAA scoring rules, and this is only possible because of the terrific cooperation and enthusiasm we have had from young gymnasts and their parents in Gainesville. Being a runner or flasher is fun but also a responsible position, too, as tasks are performed that MUST be done to run a gym meet.Parents! Without your willing cooperation with timing, transportation, and cheering your daughter(s) on from the stands, this program could not continue—so another big thank you to you! We hope your gymnast will sign up and look forward to participating! If you have questions, please call (352) 692-6265, or e-mail me at .
