Jacob Biller is moving on!
A bitter sweet weekend in Reno, NV as we celebrate the ending of Jacob's HS Men's Gymnastics career at TCT and begin a new chapter in his life at Temple University in Philladelphia, PA. Jacob is excited to compete as an Owl at Temple University. Go Owls!
We wanted to thank his friends, family, TCT, his teammates and Coach Drew for supporting Jacob along the way. With everyone's support, especially Coach Drew, he has achieved ALL of his gymnastics and academic goals. Yes, there were lots of tears, frustrations and many injuries he had to battle back from, so he could have had the opportunity to attend 5 National meets, receive 4 Academic All-American awards, place in the top 7 on floor 2 times, volunteer for Gymnastics Special Olympics and achieve many more personal accomplishments. But what he is most proud of are the individuals that touched his life along the way.
Jacob is excited to train with a larger team, experience life on the East Coast and the freedom of being in a big city. This weekend he even had the opportunity to compete against his college teammate and roommate.
What a great time filled with amazing memories! We as a family are so grateful for the opportunities Coach Drew and TCT provided.
Ethan Cox is only just beginning
Where Jacob is at the end of his career at TCT, Ethan Cox only getting started.
Ethan had a great time at his first Junior Olympic National Championships in Reno, NV. Qualifying for this amazing meet as an 11 year old level 8 proved difficult as there where only 24 in the entire country competing in his division. Whereas the level 8, 12 year old division had over 140 gymnasts competing.
After competing his optional (level 8) routines on all 6 events on May 2, then competing his technical sequences on May 4, Ethan ended with a BOOM as he nailed his pommel horse routine clinching the 6th place spot on the podium. Scores from both days were combined to determine the Champions.
Ethan finished 16th all around at the conclusion of the two day competition.
Congratulations Ethan!
