Amy Bladon, Rachael Riley and Jovie Richardson all punched their tickets to the nationals with solid performances at the Elite Canada event in Halifax earlier this month.

Bladon, 14, has been named to the High Performance Junior team, while Riley, 11 and Richardson, 10, the youngest competitor at the Halifax event, have both been named the High Performance Novice team.

The Elite Canada competition is used to select gymnasts into the High Performance Category and identify Canada’s top prospects for future selection to Canada’s National Team.
