BTYC WAG Junior Invite 2026: MAGA Sweeps Level 7 as BTYC Wins Three at Home

BTYC Gymnastics hosted its WAG Junior Invite on 12 July, drawing nine clubs to its home floor across Levels 3 through 7: BTYC, Melbourne Acrobatic Gymnastics Academy (MAGA), Eastern Gymnastics Club (EGC), PIT Gymnastics, Dolphin Gymnastics Club, Athleta Gymnastics, Gymnastics Unlimited, Mordialloc Gymnastics, and Eclipse Gymnastics. Levels 3 and 4 competed as team-only divisions; individual all-around results, 106 routines in total, were scored from Level 5 up.

MAGA'S LEVEL 7 SWEEP

Level 7 belonged to MAGA. In Division 1, the club had the division entirely to itself, seven gymnasts and a single team, and still competed it out properly: Indigo Gration won on 47.0, ahead of Arianna Naidu (46.0) and Lottie Studer (45.65), with the MAGA team posting 140.15, the highest team score of the entire competition.

Division 2 was a genuine field, 25 gymnasts across six clubs, and MAGA still walked away with the team title (133.9) and three of the top four individual placings. Isla Saffin won on 44.75, with BTYC's Amelia See the closest challenger in second on 44.1. Peyton Baldwin and Matayha Nwesser rounded out MAGA's top four, and Marlee Magee tied EGC's Alexis Stodden for sixth, both on 43.4.

BTYC WINS THREE AT HOME

The host club made the most of its own floor. BTYC's team took out Level 4 Division 2 (108.475), Level 5 Division 3 (105.075), and Level 6 Division 3 (99.525), three team titles across three different levels on the day. Fiona Liu backed up the Level 5 Division 3 team win with the individual title in the same division, 35.55 ahead of clubmate Elisha Choi on 35.3.

Level 6 Division 1 had just two entries, both from BTYC: Kotomi Lee won on 36.775, the highest Level 6 score anywhere in the competition bar one, ahead of Lauren Kam on 35.575.

A SPREAD OF WINNERS AT LEVEL 5 AND 6

Outside of MAGA and BTYC, the individual level titles were shared around. Athleta's Maggie Halpin won Level 5 Division 2 on 36.175, and the club's team took the division title as well (105.425), a clean sweep for Athleta in that division. Eastern's Ailie Zeng posted 37.15 to win Level 6 Division 2, the single highest Level 6 score of the day. Gymnastics Unlimited's Jasmine Saharan won Level 6 Division 3 on 35.25, and Dolphin's team took out Level 3 Division 3 (99.75). Between them, MAGA and BTYC accounted for five of the day's eight individual titles; Athleta, Eastern, and Gymnastics Unlimited picked up the rest.

EASTERN'S SEASON OPENER

For Eastern Gymnastics Club, the Invite doubled as a season launch. "Our Junior WAG competition season has officially kicked off," the club posted afterwards, "the girls did spectacularly." The results backed it up: team finishes across six separate divisions, first and second in Level 3 Division 2, third and fourth in Level 4 Division 2, fourth-place finishes at Level 5 Division 2 and Division 3, first in Level 6 Division 2, and third in Level 6 Division 3, plus a runner-up finish in the Level 7 Division 2 team event behind MAGA.

“Our Junior WAG competition season has officially kicked off. The girls did spectacularly.”

PIT Gymnastics had a productive day of its own, a team gold in Level 4 Division 3 (107.35) and a team silver in Level 3 Division 3 (99.1), alongside individual results at Levels 5 and 7. Dolphin, Mordialloc, and Eclipse Gymnastics rounded out the field, with Eclipse's Tiahn Falla and Amelia Bellamy both finishing inside the top eight of a 25-strong Level 7 Division 2 field.
