Newmarket Era
Carmen Whelan, a senior level gymnast with Silhouettes of York Rhythmic Gymnastics Club in Newmarket, placed second overall at the Elite Canada National Rhythmic Gymnastics competition last weekend in Winnipeg.
Her second place finish was an important step in qualifying for the Toronto Pan Am Games this year, the next step being the Canadian National Championships in May.
In the meantime, Whelan will compete in two World Cups in Lisbon and Pesaro, both on assignment from Gymnastics Canada.
