Montana Super Skippers

Summer 2009

News Letter

Members of the Tournament Team Traveled to Kirkland, WA

Where they competed in the tournament of Champions.

Every member came home with smiles and ribbons for their hours of practice. Great job jumpers.

June was a busy month.

Montana Super Skippers held their first “Jump into Summer Fun Run.” Participants received a rope and instruction at the end of the 3 mile fun run.

Our oldest runner, Bob Hayes, 80+, even mastered the double dutch ropes. Bob was recently seen at the John Colter run, where he confessed that he has not stopped jumping yet.

“I jump while I am cooking, and I jumped to warm up before the run.”

Our Summer Camp was full of smiles and enthusiastic jumpers. There was wild hair, crazy sock, and more jumping than can be counted.

Thank You Rattlesnake School for letting us be healthy and most of all have fun!

At the end of June,

13 members traveled to Galveston, TX, and competed

At USA jump rope’s National tournament. There was a bit of disappointment when, normal speed scores would have placed them in the top 10.

6 members of our team did ribbon at the National tournament. There were close calls for few, too. Coach Bev was Proud of everyone.

Erin Williams, qualified in the top 12 for Grand Nationals in 3 events, and placed in 2 of them. She just wanted to do one jump better in her age division score, and that is all she needed to become Grand National Champion in 3 minute speed.

Now with Summer coming to a close, it is time to get fired up about the new 3 eight week sessions, the Super Skippers will be holding. Our First Session Starts September 30^th at 4:05 at the Rattlesnake school. See our website for details.
