On February 24 & 25 gymnasts of Kratos Gymnastics located in Bethel, CT competed at the Legacy Invitational hosted at Competitive Edge Sports, King of Prussia, PA. The competition welcomed hundreds of gymnasts in levels 2-10 & Xcel Bronze - Sapphire.
Kratos truly displayed “quality” over “quantity” as their small teams defied the numerical score probability, and dominated the competition with outstanding performances. Although in levels Xcel Silver & Gold Kratos showcased the smallest number of competitors out of all the teams in attendance, they dominated the competition both as individuals and as a team, with Xcel Gold placing 3rd as a team (only 3 competitors and all scores contributing to the final tally), and Xcel Silver winning 1st as a team (only 5 competitors).
