Bainbridge Island Rope Skipping Team qualifies for Nationals

Published 11:35 am Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Could a national title be just a hop, skip and a jump away?

The skipping part seems certain.

The entire crew of the Bainbridge Island Rope Skipping Team has qualified to compete at the USA Jump Rope National Competition later this month.

The Bainbridge Island skippers qualified for the competition with an amazing outing at the regional qualifying tournament in Redmond recently against other teams from Oregon and Washington.

The Bainbridge team qualified in single rope, as well as a double dutch speed and freestyle events.

The double dutch speed team of Anna Warga, Jessica Fay, Sarah Sharman and Abigail Harrison scored a personal best of 674 jumps in 2 minutes, outscoring all other teams by more than 100 jumps.

Now 20 members strong, the Bainbridge team, coached by Julie Leachman, has previously earned medals in recent national and international competitions.

Nationals will be held June 21-24 in Long Beach, Calif. Thirteen different regions across the country will send their top five finishers in each event and age category to the competition.
