National Championships

Six members of the OGC Men's Team traveled to Calgary, Alberta to compete in the 2008 Canadian Championships.

Competing in the Argo High Performance (HP) category were; Michael Buczkowski, Daniel Capstick and, 2007 Argo National Champion, Cory Paterson.

Representing Oakville in the Senior HP category were Matt Grinter, Sean Lord and, National Team member, Matt Albrect.

The Argos competed compulsory routines over two days of competition. The total of the two day's scores were used to determine the All-around and apparatus awards.

The Seniors competed on the first day to determine the All-around champion and to qualify for Event Finals.

It was Michael's first Nationals and first year competing in the Argo HP category. He placed a respectable 21st out of 32 Argos.

Daniel came in at 19th place All-around, but brought home a fifth place ribbon on vault.

Cory, who was competing at his fifth Nationals, was consistent on all 12 of his routines, won his second All-around title and brought home three gold and three silver apparatus medals.

Matt Grinter placed 18th and Sean placed 19th All-around.

Matt Albrecht finished 13th All-around and qualified for vault finals where he placed sixth.

Congratulations to ALL (WAG, TUM & MAG) Oakville athletes who competed at Canadian Championships.
