An 11-year-old Cape Girardeau girl recently was named all-around champion at the Gateway Gymnastics of America qualifier meet.
Emily Wilson, a member of the Riverside Gymnastics Academy Team, won first place in the floor exercise competition, the balance beam and the vault. She won second place on the uneven bars.
She and her teammates will now move on to the Candy Cane Invitational, Dec. 4-5, in Kansas City.
Wilson is the daughter of Chuck and Lisa Wilson, and the granddaughter of Tom and Arietta Hogan, all of Cape Girardeau.
