October, 2006 - DeVeau's had an incredible competition at the Region V Future Stars evaluation.  Anton Stpehenson, Alec Yoder, and Nate Blachly, all 9 year olds, competed as 10 year olds and qualified for the National testing in Colorado Springs next month.   Jake Markisohn, who is just recovering from a broken arm, did an awesome job as well.  We are so proud of our boys! Christopher Stephenson, an 11 year old, finished 6th in the region which places him on the Region V Future Stars Team and qualifies him to compete in the national testing in Colorado.  What a great competition Christopher!!  The boys will travel to Colorado on November 9th and we wish them well!!
 

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Christopher Stephenson who placed 20th in
the 10 year old division at the Future Stars National Evaluations that were held in Colorado
Springs, CO on November 11th. The top 18 were placed on the National team and Chris's score was only .10 below the 18th qualifier. Christopher loved getting to use the Olympic
Training Center and seeing lots of outstanding gymnasts. Way to go Chris!!
