Two Hawai'i gymnasts captured first place in their respective divisions at the USA Gymnastics Winter Classic for Trampoline and Tumbling on March 1 in Lubbock, Texas.

Nani Vercruyssen, a ninth-grader at Roosevelt High School, took first in the junior elite trampoline and first in the double mini-trampoline.

Spencer Dupio, a 10th-grader at Roosevelt, was first in the junior elite double mini-trampoline and finished seventh in the trampoline.

Two other Hawai'i athletes competed at the meet, with Kelsen Onigama (a sixth-grader at Kalakaua Middle School) finishing eighth in the junior elite double mini-trampoline and 14th in the trampoline; and Matt Moniz (a freshman at Leeward Community College) placing 10th in the senior elite trampoline and 11th in the double mini-trampoline.
