complete without the “Grease” crew,
Elvis Presley, some ’60s flower chil-
dren and “Saturday Night Live!”

out of the old Theatre on the Hill,
which was destroyed by fire. This is
the city’s new community theatre and
plans are being made for a full season
beginning this fall. The group is plan-

tion.
Tickets for the musical are $6 for
adults and $3 for children 10 and
under and may be purchased at the
door. Everyone is encouraged to
come and be entertained and show
support for the new theatre.

Hutchins does
well at state
Laureen Hutchins of Cedar Hill
recently competed in the Level 8
Texas State Meet and the USA
Gymnastics Junior Olympics Level 8
Regional Championships in Sugar
Land at Mega Gymnastics.
She competes in the 12-year-old
age division for Trevino’s
Gymnastics School.
Hutchins did very well placed on
all four events and the all-around.
She won a silver medal on the bal-
ance beam with a score of 9.6 and
completed a Tsukahara vault for the
very first time to place 10th (8.8).
She was sixth on the uneven par-
allel bars with a score of 9.4, 12th on
floor exercise (9.275) and fourth in
the all-around competition (37.075).
Hutchins qualified for regional
and helped the Level 8 team place
second at state.
The regional meet was held at
Phillips 66 Gymnastics in
Bartlesville, Okla. Hutchins compet-
ed against other gymnasts from
Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas,
Oklahoma. New Mexico, Arkansas
and Texas.
Hutchins won the regional beam
competition with her highest score of
the season at 9.625.
Hutchins also placed 15th on vault
with an 8.85 score, 14th on the
uneven bars (9.4) and 14th on floor
exercise (9.35). She finished sixth in
all-around.
She said the beam is one of her
best events and enjoys the challenge
of tumbling on a four-inch wide piece
of wood four feet off the ground.
Coach Marilyn Trevino choreo-
graphed her beam routine with skills
showing off her strength and flexibil-
ity. Along with her dance elements,
she employs a full turn, a front
walkover, and a back handspring
connection in this routine.
Rich Trevino and Jennifer Malone
train Hutchins, who works out 22
hours a week. This was her first year
competing at Level 8. She is training
for the Level 9 season (there are 10
levels a gymnast has to complete
before going elite).
