Northland gymnasts came away from the New Zealand Gymnastics National Championships with a swag of medals and high placings.
The championships were held in Tauranga earlier this year and Northland athletes won four gold medals, a bronze and had several other good results.
The young gymnasts were from three Northland clubs - Whangarei Academy of Gymnastics (Wags), Fantastic Gymnastics and Active Attitude.
Wags manager Vicki Macdonald said it was a tremendous achievement from the young athletes, especially considering they were competing against regions and clubs with far more resources than Northland.
